Wishing you another 100k of M smiles.

It's the way we've been conditioned over the years. I'm struggling with the concept of hitting 50K.

At least it will take me another 25 years to hit 100K :lol:
 
Unfortunately we are, as has been mentioned, conditioned to see 80,000 as the life of an engine, drivetrain and suspension. Time to ring up and get a refurbished Goldseal engine!
 
It’ll be fine...for another 40,000 miles anyway, as that’s when mine presented the next big bill (for a clutch & flywheel) :P

Yes.

No sign of pending failure until the day it just wouldn’t disengage.

BMW wanted over £3k for a clutch & flywheel replacement, but got an Indy to fit OEM parts for about a 3rd of that.

I guess the long, easy miles on the motorway helped, but it did do a fair number of weekend blasts, Ring trips & track days.
 
Past 60k on the Snowdon trip a few weeks back. Seem to be doing a few less miles these days. down to around 5-6k a year now. :driving: :D
 
Tom would have this car scraped in a heartbeat :rofl:

Loads of 100k+ M3 rolling around, keep up the good work Alfa :driving:
 
Oohh thats a big milestone, or even millstone possibly when it comes to selling, but i guess its a forever car as you have obviously enjoyed driving it loads. Mine unfortunately had become a garage queen the last 15months due to buggy project but unsorned now and I am eager to get driving as i can afford to put some miles on the clock as only did 900 between last two mot’s. Have you noticed any issues as the miles increase? I sold my z3 m roadster at 70k as i was getting worried about it clocking up too many miles , then it went up in price by 4k in a couple of years :headbang: 👍
 
I dont think I will ever sell it. I drive the car almost every day and it still feels great to drive.

I do need to do some preventative maintainance this year and spend a few grand.

I was going to ask on here about where I should go as I don't have anyone in Scotland. I have always serviced at the dealer but don't fancy paying for vanos and bearings along with its yearly inspection at the dealer. Think it's time for a specialist as so far it's all been dealer apart from oil changes.

I realise I live in the middle of nowhere but would travel anywhere and incorporate the trip into a bit of a break.

Once i have a few suggestions I can ring around for a price and then take a view.

That's the plan, over to you.

Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Just had a look and as you say the reviews are good. I will give them a call and see what they say.

Thanks Bottom. :thumbsup:

We will get out for a run soon. At least when we get rid of the snow / ice although since changing to my Winter tyres it has made a big difference.
