What's the current mileage on your BMW 330 ZHP?

[mLuMaN83]

Just hit 150k. It needs some TLC. I need to do a suspension refresh, window regulators, VCG, AC Comp, exhaust rattle, and brakes.

Rolling nearer to the 200,000 miles mark. Currently just broke 199,500.
Original owner and the car has been a dream.

Besides brakes, tires and oil changes the only things I've had to do otherwise are

Valve cover gasket at 100k and 180k
OFH at 130k
Crank case valve at 120k
O2 sensors at 160k
Fuel pump 180k
Fuel filter 150k
Catalytic converters 185k

Not too shabby though some were items I could not DIY (like cats) pretty much everything else I did DIY

Oh and original clutch :-)

Not the power she used to have on launch so I take it easy on her, but she'll still run over 135mph no issue

Wow, awesome. That's when buying a new car makes sense!! I'm the 5th owner of mine at 215,xxx, although my clutch is not original.

You must be due for some suspension work eventually ? How has yours held up ? I think most of mine is original (apart from the usual cheap stuff like rear shock mounts and control arm bushings).

Oh and what's the story on the cats ?

[Scorpius]

Not much the cats started throwing two codes and I decided to just do it now instead of waiting until I got closer to emissions test time.

The suspension seems fine to me at this point ill pretty much move it to the just keep it driving status. Hopin to get another 100k from it but also don't want to sink tons into it. Pretty sure it's not worth too much at this point. Oh and my Sirius just died....arg.....I hate being without it! I need to pull it and make sure its not something simple like a fuse.

Got it. I have no doubts it'll last another 100k!

Sirius modules on eBay are pretty cheap

Wow trade in value is still nearly 6k, private is about 8500 and retail just over 10k according to kbb

Wouldn't have figured it would be but half that

Of course I'm driving it until I get a repair that exceeds the value of the car

Gotta love the ZHP markup. Did you get the cats new or used off another E46 ? IIRC they retail for about a grand each...

[Scorpius]

New they ran me like 1500 total BMW original

Crossed 74K on the way back from Gruppefest.

Perfect mileage for 12 psi.
