Just been going through the history for the E30, opens up the Mobil1 track record, and a newspaper article dropped out. It was from a test that Mobil1 carried out on an E30 325i. Proof that regular oil services on an E30 can let it run forever

Interesting to know :) Modern BMWs would probably fall apart after 200k mark...
