mileage

Sat Oct 10, 2009 1:22 pm

Hi all, just thought i would see what the mileage is like on other's cars. Mines got 267k on a 88E 320i (still pulls strong and no leaks whatsoever)

Perhaps a bit of a competition for most/least miles?

p.s., scrappers dont count, has to be a decent runner

I've had:

89G 320i Manual 76k and counting
89G 320i Auto 86k
89G 320i Convertible 96k
92J 325i Touring 182k

All a bit in the middle really, no prizes here. I'd be interested to know how many cars have done upwards of say 225k on the original engine and gearbox. Whenever these threads come along, everyone mentions Brianmooooore has a touring that is 300k up, and I know Jesus325itouring's has passed a quarter million miles but has a more youthful motah.
