Had an high mileage moment today when my zed ticked over into 90000 miles which got me to wondering who has the highest mileage zed on the forum and how it was handling the many miles good or bad? :thumbsup:

I'm sure someone on here was thinking of selling an E86 with 205K miles recently - cheered me up as mine hasn't done half that yet!
 
I sold my E85 - 2004 2.5 a few weeks ago with 149000 on the clock and I bought it 3 years ago when it was on 130K. Never had any issues with the engine but moved to slightly thicker oil 5W-30 and was doing the oil services every 5000-6000 miles as it was needing 1 litre top up every 2000-3000 miles when it was on 0W-40 after I bought it.
 
158,200 presently and looking at adding another 20k in the next 6 months as DD. M54 engine as strong as ever :D

I do about 4000/5000 miles a year but plan to change my oil every year no matter that my oil service light says 13000 miles before I need to. :thumbsup:

Like it, none of this "packing it away for the winter" crap. :thumbsup:
 
I brought the Z3 on 101k in September after the previous owner had only done 20k in 5 years.
Finally she is getting some proper use again, now sitting at 104k and rising by a minimum of 1k a month :)
 
Possibly Tonys/ mmm five ,he M Coupe has around 147k,i think?
Maybe he will spot this thread,and post the correct the mileage,but definitely the highest mileage M I know.
 
Was on 147,000 as per the last MOT certificate in 2015.

Did another 1,000 miles before the accident and have done a couple of thousand since, driving it all over the place to get lingering issues diagnosed.

On about 151,000 miles now, as it's sat about doing not a lot at the moment. Should have it back, in good mechanical order in a week or two - just in time to put it away for winter :P

At least I know the Alfa performs well in cold, wet, greasy conditions - as it's also on about 150,000 miles and had a good 13 laps at the 'Ring last week.
 
Just ticked over 113k on mine :thumbsup: running beautifully. Went out for a drive yesterday morning and it performed effortlessly in the cold air. It also sounded fantastic at the top of the Rev range :evil:

Couldn't get it below 10m on the Cross-Climates, but it was fun trying.

Lots of squealing tyres and trail-braking oversteer was the order of the day, and no worries about crashing the POS.

Breidschied up to Steilstrecke was the killer, as I couldn't get it above 90mph.
