whats high mileage on a E89?
- Thread starter Zed Five
- Start date
3.5years old with 34k on the clock... I'm averaging between 400 & 600 miles a week at the mo. Really have no understanding of why you would buy a Zed and then not use it... I bought mine to make my weekly commute more pleasurable!! :wink:

haha... re my last post I'm spending a tonne of time working & travelling so have a lurk on here now & then but posting time has been limited!!!
Would love to know what the average speed over those 6000 miles is? I've followed you down to the last two Midland's meets so I know you are not afraid to let rip with your right footQuadracer said:Ive clocked up 6,000 in 3 months and I don't use it for work. All hooning

Very old post but intersteing to bring back to life given the age of the E89 now. I have a 2009 30i and it is currently on 77686 miles. I bought it roughly 2 months ago with 77556. Its been winter in the UK and the weather has been dire, plus I walk to work so the Z4 is just a weekend toy. Lovely outing today in the sunshine though, first time with the roof down while moving! The engine SINGS!! I love it so much!
And it opened when I left and closed on my return,. no drama - PHEW! Had to mop up the residual water in the boot on my return, as is the way (I have all the trim off), I think I have sealed and fixed all the leaks but the pesky stored water is still hanging around.

It would be interesting to know whether your response would be the same had you bought an N54. I would put money on it being slightly different (and a lot more expensive).Bought my 2011 23i at 27k miles, now 9 1/2 years later it's just turned 134k miles. Regularly serviced and looked after, had the cam cover gaskets replaced due to an oil leak, a few other minor issues, but apart from that it's been great
The only N54 I owned had two wastegates, both turbos rebuilt, a full set of injectors, coils and a HPFP replaced before 40k miles. And it had a comprehensive dealer service history. Suffice to say I didn't keep it long.

My 35i is on 128k miles Pondy and I’m pretty sure hasn’t had any wastegate or turbo issues, it’s had a hpfp but that’s about it. You must have got unlucky….or I’m lucky….

I guess that this will depend on the engine model, servicing , and how it has been driven. But I bought my Z4 E89 N52 last year with 125,000 miles, and did not bat an eye about the milage:-
Stuff from the internet:-
The BMW N52 engine is widely regarded as one of BMW's most reliable modern naturally aspirated engines, capable of exceeding 200,000–300,000 miles with proper maintenance.
But what truly sets the N52 apart is its feel. Few engines can match its silky-smooth power delivery. The engine’s linear throttle response and rev-happy nature make it a joy to drive.
The BMW N52 engine (2004–2015) was widely acclaimed for its lightweight magnesium-aluminum construction and, most notably, was named one of Ward's 10 Best Engines in 2006 and 2007. It was lauded for its smooth power delivery, efficiency, and reliability, representing a pinnacle of BMW's naturally aspirated straight-six technology.
