That's amazing! Have you had any major engine work done, or even a head gasket change?

I've done 182 000 so far.
Wonder how many 200 000 + mile E30s are out there...

There's been a 200 000 mile thread set up now inspired by your post sir. I feel you could put your name to that but it seems you have one of the highest mileage cars.

Roll on the tourings.

haha you lot are funny.
mine has just hit 72 000 but the engine came off a 325 that was roughly 10000 miles less.

i feel silly now, as ive started to get the train to work, one because im spending Ԛ£200 per month on fuel, and partly because i dont want my car to reach 100,000 miles haha

If you don't want it to reach 100k, crush it now :lol:

300k is impressive - how many of those miles have you done yourself?
