I think that age is the downfall of these engines. Provided they are well maintained, mileage is less important! Heads can crack at any mileage!

[TOURINGDADDY]

i'm on 197 now and still going strong once i get the fuelin sorted

[Davenotouring]

More power than Simons engine with over 100k more!

[c76jon]

[Dominitry]

[Gav325isport]

Mines at 116,000.

[325SME]

127,500 as of today, was less than 55,000 when I bought it just over 4 years ago.....

[StuBeeDoo]

Adam

Hell! I do that sort of mileage in 4 months. Dunno wether it's a good thing (all that driving a real car) or a bad thing.......
I bought mine in March '04 with 107,250 on the clock and it's now got 128,250 on.

Let's face it.... A BMW engine with less than 100k on it isn't run-in.
I seem to remember in the '80's, at the begining of the Formula 1 turbo era, the BMW engine was based on a 315 (M10??) block. They used blocks that had been run-in on the road, in standard cars, for a minimum of 150,000kms (i.e 90,000+ miles).
This may be fact or fable, but I'm sure I've seen it quoted in books/magazines more than once.
Anyone know if it's true??

[Gwynleym10]

Wouldn't be surprised stuart!
My m10 feels much better at 125 000 than it did at 76 000 and thats not just the IS suspension....

[johnono]

234,000 kms is about... (quick search for a e-converter...) 145,000


shit man , thats more than i thought!

[Adammcf]

Just turned 118k.

[Gwynleym10]

WHo was doing 100mph when then went over to 100 000 miles then?

I was my sister took a picture of it as well!

[Turbo-Brown]

I'm over 180k

It's kind of interpolated from the MOTs though as it did just over 10k miles every year seemingly, then some stuff to do with the speedo not working appeared about 4 or 5 YEARS ago and the MOT mileage dropped to about half.

Anyhoo, engine needed rebuilding at about 200k with the most worn components being the bearing shells.

The crank was spot bollock on the fat side of the tollerance, and the bores only needed honing. Other than that, it was just a new set of valve guides and a pair of turbos

[Hyperion]

128 000km or 80 000 miles WHOOOWHOOO

[dazleeds]

136,760 i think iirc

[jmc330i]

101k for mine up untill I took the engine out.

It covered 70k in its first 4 years and then got tucked away by the 2nd owner and covered just 10k in 7 years. Then I got it and put it up to its present 101k before I took it off the road.

[rare]

Just over 118k I think it is. c76jon you reckon its still on its first full fuel tank from the dealer?

[c76jon]

nah..................2nd

john

[Gav325isport]

C76JON I cant believe you've got an e30 with 32K, is it a really late one ?
An M3 as well (and in black) !!

[Lordschleife]

Thats not black, its Macau Blue
EVO2's only came in 3 colours Macau Blue, Nogaro Silver or Misano Red, they were built in '88, and Jons is sex on legs, errr rubber

My iS is just over 90k

[CaesarBob]

I crossed 114,500 last nite. But was on 62,500 when i bought her 3 yrs ago.

Personally i think that cars are better if they're used regularly. Had quite a few problems with mine at first but now she's used daily, it's just been regular servicing.

Have to agree with you there-if a car is used sensibly every day, and gets a right good thrashing every now and then, it keeps the car healthier

i'm on 92k is at the moment-got it at 87k 6 months ago. And I dont use it or work
