I'll start with mine (below). 1991 with a touch over 58,000 miles from new.

I've had lots of nice comments from my posting in the gallery - thought it was only fair to point out its only just been run in!
:wink:

Strictly speaking my engine has covered 5,800 miles :)

Old engine (318iS) cylinder head went at 147k, 2.7 was constructed and the bottom end and head are like new (bills to prove).
