My '94 325i turned 70,000 mi. on xmas day. Bought the car a year and a half ago with 56,000 miles on it.
Just wondering, is there anything at this mileage that I should keep an eye out for going wrong? (Water pump already replaced)
Thanks.

What are signs that the guibo needs replacing? I know there have been a lot of threads on this, but I never followed them.

worn/cracked guibo problem will result in a vibration felt under the shifer. The faster you go the more intense the vibration. I had to change mine at 125k.

Clutch is relevant to how the car has been driven. Mine is going strong at 130K. On my first bimmer my original clutch was still good at 165K.
People have had to change them much earlier...
As far as anything else you really never know. But you shoul be good..

odd mine's just hit 68k miles and just had water pump changed, overheated like crazy, heard if I didn't fix it could've melted cylinder heads...
