Mileage on you car ??

[mj2k]

2007 9,500miles.

Purchased it 2 months ago with only 7k on it, it is a daily drive so will increase significantly

It's my only car, but not quite a daily driver. I get to work by train and live pretty much opposite the station, so the car only really moves at weekends. I even found myself walking a mile to the Supermarket last week to grab a few bits as I didn't think it was worth firing the car up and doing such a small journey where the engine wouldn't get chance to warm up. So with my rose tinted specs on, the car is good for your health too 8)

Out of interest have any of the 100k mileage owners ever had the need to do any major bits and pieces to the engine? I was wondering if getting near to 70k was about the right time to give the vanos a rebuild (not by me!). Not because it's causing any issues, but mainly as a preventative measure for the future.

I bought mine a few weeks ago with 54k miles, 2006. I don't use it daily and so I suspect I won't pile on the miles

24500 miles need to get out more lol

less than 18k on my 2009 coupe

if i was not on the forum and doing a few meets it would be much less than that

Mine was replaced at 23k, but I've not done anything to the new engine other than scheduled maintenance and my interim oil services.

The only other engine issue I've had is a dodgy MAF, which was replaced by Darren Wood for about £150.

Wasn't planning on taking the bottom end out to check for bearing shell wear, or strip the VANOS - although will have to start thinking about budgeting for these in the near future. Cam lobe wear should be spotted during a valve clearance shouldn't it?

When i had my 3.0ltr i sold it at 128k didn't have any engine work one apart from normal servicing. Since i've owned my //M (10 months in), i've had an oil service done, ac belt changed, ignition coils changed and a vanos refurb done. The vanos is defo worth having done if you're nearing the 70K mark.

2003 3.0i done 93k now and still feels great to drive and gear box feels tight. No significant issues so far, fingers crossed

 

[LostBoy_84]

Just reached 43k in my M Coupe, do around 2-3k per year in it.

 

[mr wilks]

78300 2 months ago when purchased , my previous weekenders have covered around 3k a year but somehow i had a idea this car would cover considerably more :wink: , ive done almost 1500 already
I haven't bought it as a garage ornament & after long craving a M car i'm gonna use it whenever i can

 

[Bing]

Amen to that

 

[TR4man]

45,600 on my 2006 Coupe, bought end of April as an almost daily driver

 

[srhutch]

Bought mine in July last year on 56K currently on 77k and i haven't even had it for a year

Even better than me - got mine in April last year on 24k, now on 41k with just under 6k to its first inspection 2...

Your only 1k behind me now.

 

[Bing]

And yet I've always been so far ahead
