high mileage bmws

[asmith88]

seemingly bmw reliability is second to none and i see high mileage cars everywhere running very well around the `150k mark, just wondering what the highest mileage on here is?

be interesting?

[e30topless]

I've had one with 215 k that ran sweet I think some have had higher mileage

[Simon13]

242k on my silver 325i pictured in my sig is my record, original lump made it to around 216k when a rocker snapped through my hard use. I'm sure it would of covered even more if it was used gently

[The_Diddler]

I think Hubble's 325 sport has over 250k on it......................., looks like its only done a third of date

[twallwood]

239k on mine, still going strong

[GrindCulture]

Hasn't BrianMooooore got one with 300k+ on the clock? Hardly surprising if he has

Probably one of the lpg warriors.

Hasn't BrianMooooore got one with 300k+

Yh thats exactly what came to mind as soon as I read the top of the thread. He only changed a minor niggle if I can remember him saying

[Bob_S]

177k on my m50 converted shell nothing is original now apart from the shell bonnet boot and sunroof

[ChrisiS]

My iS has done 192000 as of earlier........

A friend of my brothers had an iS that when he sold it had done just under 300k, and is still going strong 2 years later!

Actual mileage isn't known, as it was 'clocked' early in its life. Assuming the haircut was around 40k, it is on around 285,000 or so now.
It's the one in the red touring in my sig., uses no significant oil or any other fluid, produces all the ponies it ever did (according to the arse dyno), and generally runs like new.
It's currently 'resting' as the result of it's encounter with a flying porker, 17 months ago.

not an e30 but my dads old 1999 323i e46 which his mother inlaw now owns has 260k on topaz blue with cream leather, shame as the arches are rusty and is the bonnet all motorway miles tho still quick and sounds lovely

[GrindCulture]

My mum had an old A6 Avant with 240k on the clock, was still as sweet as a nut.

[leeparkes]

the black E30 in my sig hit 220k with no issues at all!
saw one on e-bay a while ago with 335k! he even put a pic of the speedo showing the mileage in the ad.

Nearly! Just coming upto 253k

[Blitz]

My 316i M40 has 160K under its belt and its running sweet. This could be due to the comprehensive service history.

[GrindCulture]

I have no idea how much my engines done, it had 124k on the clock, but by the looks of the old MOT's it had been for a while. The shell's done just over 120k, but even that's not spot on as the diff wire problem happened on that for a while before I got it and it wasn't til I fixed it that normal service resumed.

Thats what I like loads of mileage but it looks brand new. None of this low mileage nonsense.

Are there any pics of Hubble's car, because most I found don't work.

[eko]

I scrapped a 325i a couple of years ago due to rust which had 230 odd thousand on it,still ran nice.
My old E36 323i had 242k on the clock when I got it,it is now on 261k and runs like its done 61k,thats a 1998 S reg.
Had a couple of iS`s which were getting close to 200k too.

Oh and my last 316i whuich had 190k on it and still ran really well.Oldroyds on here then bought it off me and did a gumball type rally in it putting another hard couple of thousand on it

[hubble]

Give me 5 mins and ill post some up

[e30topless]

off topic but I was looking for a new van at a dealership before Xmas and noticed the mileage on some 3 year old trucks there' some had 3-500k on the clock

[bmw1066]

My 316 m40 had 210k ran sweet, 320 is 130k non e30 e34 v8 had 220k

[hubble]

Thanks

The front arm rest was ordered in the states and made in Italy oddly enough.
£130 delivered if I remember. I'm all for originality but wasn't keen on the factory version so went on the hunt and found this one. It's also adjustable complete with drinks holder.

And runs as sweet as a nut when the battery isn't dead.

stunning

were you at leeds concurs of the north last year ???

[e30bmlover]

your cars @ucking clean hubble! my shitbox needs surgery... but when shes done she will be individual and no doubt one of the best e30's going.... i dont settle for second best!!!!
the shell has covered 122k.... a baby!! (you would have thought more judging by the arch and passenger door)

[madaboutthe30]

Hubble your car is immensley clean, looks like it just came out of the factory.

Compliments to you

[hubble]

thanks for the compliments fellas!
It takes a lot of time and effort keeping it looking like 'new' but worth it

Alex yes I was at harewood concours. Were you there?
