Ahem :poke:

Although you may catch up quite quickly as mine is now relegated to track/hoon duty - so won't be doing 25,000 miles a year an more.

Yeah I knew I wouldn't be top dog when you come along :P

So, I guess by looking at this pole im am getting one or two things... Please shed some light for me if you can....

These cars aren't making it much past 120k miles? or Just not that many people with high mileage on these cars?

This is my concern here as an owner of an 03 sport with 89k on the clock...

THX!!

Known a few e46s with the m54 engine in with over 200k, one had even been lpg'd. both were going strong still till about 12 months ago when one was written off. So obviously there's plenty of life left in the e85 by that measure, particularly as they don't seem to suffer from e46 disease. Even if that does start to become an issue, at least the rear wings are also bolt on.
