Re: How many Z4s have over 100k miles
Z4 isn't a car many people will clock up high miles in generally. I think if well cared, and driven correctly, they should easily see 200kmiles+ on original engine, even the M's!!

Re: How many Z4s have over 100k miles
I think mine will become the oldest with the least miles. Bought it in May, a 53 plate with 43k and I do about 2,500 per year, all for fun. Planning on running with this car for at least 5 years given it's just a toy.

The M50 lump just goes on and on, 200K miles is nothing for one of these!

Re: How many Z4s have over 100k miles
Currently 22k on my 53 plate - old boy who had it before used it as a 2nd/3rd car so quite a while until it hits a ton - Although very comforting to see that quite a few are on the way to 150k and 200k
Z4 3.0 / Mods done... too many to mention

Re: How many Z4s have over 100k miles
I've had 2 318i's with over 170k miles on the clock. Both still running sweetly and not smoking or using oil.
I'd never be afraid to buy a high-mileage beemer. BMW make engines to last!

Re: How many Z4s have over 100k miles
A Z4 isn't special enough to drive not often. It really is a daily driver by design. I've had no reason not to use my car for holidays, shopping trips and all sorts of stuff.
Even a Lotus Elise or VX220 is fairly 'nice' day to day.
I'd need a Caterham to not want to use it every day, and even then they are quite nice on the road... just the crappy roof if it's raining, and no good for shopping
Commuting in summer though, would be fine.
Hmm

How many Z4s have over 100k miles
Z4 2003 2.5
My baby has 117,546k on the clock.
I've owned it for two years and have replaced the following:
Headlights
Radiator
Coolant tank
Belt
Water Pipe to coolant tank
Rear Springs
Thankfully the engine sounds perfect..so I'm hoping that's it for a while
I was also wondering what the max mileage would be, as mine is driven every day and the didgits keep climbing.
230k hahaha, after reading that I'm going to relax

How many Z4s have over 100k miles
Ran a E36 323i coupe for 18 years as my Euro-taxi clocking up a total of 261,000 miles until it was 'murdered'. Was running as strong and true as when I first bought it at around 15k miles. Had the M52TU engine which never gave any problems apart from replacing the CCV system at about 115k miles due to the valve diaphragm tearing.
Running a zed bought at just over 100k miles expecting to get at least another 100k from the M54B30 lump having replaced the CCV system, throttlebody, intake hoses, leaky cam cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket. Currently on about 107k.
Will be hoping to achieve (at least) this on the zed too.....: ....some way to go yet....
