1989 520i on 167,000 Miles.

Unlile most though mine hasn't been looked after aswell as it should. The previous owned only serviced it about 3 times at a BMW dealer in 100,000Miles (when I got it).

Judging by the state of the spark plugs I reckon they might have been the origionals! It still ran and sounded fine and didn't smoke. I guess this is a testiment to how well they are built!

1997 528i with 140,000 miles. I put about 2,600 on it per month. It runs superbly.

Maintenance: New electric fan, water pump, thermostat, rotors, pads.

98' 528i bought used with 83,000 now has 97,000 and runs perfect. Thank goodness the previous owner loved it as much as I do and serviced it properly.

New A/C compressor is the only part I have replaced.

We survived Hurricane Dennis (and Ivan in September 2004) and we have ordered the new tranny.

I expect that we will be over 400,000 miles before this time next year.

Have a great day.

As soon as she gets back from the shop with her new tranny I will post some pics.

I am determined to get her to 1 million miles.

My 525i has 213,000 miles on it and it looks and runs like (nearly) new. It's been frequently serviced by a high regarded BMW specialist in the Washgigton, DC area and almost always covered when not being driven.

Who's your service guy? I go to the independent BMW/Mercedes service shop on Prosperity Ave. in Merrifield, right outside the beltway.

BTW, I'm up over 148,000 now. Lots of miles over the course of this past month when I drove to New Orleans and back, then Chicago and back! :-)

My BMW has 111k miles. Solid as a rock. Runs great.

beachcomber_bill · 09-06-2005, 08:38 PM

152k on my '98 540 sport; still looks and runs like new!

///Matt · 09-07-2005, 02:26 AM

Just short of 170,000 on my 97 540i...and running well, but the electronics are all falling apart..

Jordan94530i · 09-07-2005, 04:25 AM

126k, needs new pads and possibly some rotors, otherwise, older couple owned it, daily driver type car. never missed an oil change, have the original book. Friend bought it with 112k, put 14k on it in about a year, and I bought it.

fl540iM · 09-07-2005, 10:26 AM

100,000 on my 2001 540i 6 spd. Put 35,000 on her in the last year alone.

The Volvo club actually had mileage honor badges you could purchase for the grill of your car.

My wife is even asking when we are going to get it back on the road and "piling on the mileage"

LMAO!!! It's great to hear you have managed to get that much miles out of your bimmer!!! It's actually encouraging...!! I'm about to cross the 200,000KM barrier...a little excited and worried at the same time!
