I've got 65,500 miles on her... Still breakin' her in.
Hit a milestone today. Still running flawlessly!
Attachment 8261
I hit 128,000 the other day... Owned her about 4 months now, and I've put almost 2000 miles on her.
My 540iT crossed 67K over the weekend, the '06 ZHP is closing in on 75K, and the ZHP vert is sneaking up on 47K.
I passed 86k on Preston's car today, drove it to his college this morning, packed the wife's X5 fully of his dorm room stuff and left his ZHP so he can drive himself home at the end of the week. After his last exam, he only responsible to pack up his dirty clothes from the week, his toiletry bag, his backpack with books & laptop, and his sheets. His mom couldn't make it much easier than that for him.
And the X5 which was bought in mid-Nov with 23.8K on the clock, I rolled over 34K miles on the way home today. 10K miles in 6 months, my wife's job is only about 12 miles from the house, that's a heck of a lot of kids' sports taxiing. On today's 500+ mile round trip the X5 delivered 23.7 mpg running at 80 mph most of the time. (The ZHP got about 26.5 mpg) Coming from multiple Denali/Suburbans as the family SUV the last 20 years, the X5 beat their best mpg by 50%. Impressed.
The ZHP turned to 111,000 as I pulled into the driveway tonight. Doing a bunch of maintenance on her, but still a great car!
Damn. 14k miles in the 13 months I have owned my wagon. It sure has been a fun little car, I am looking forward to many miles with it!
I am currently at 168.3k miles. It is really just a number that means nothing to me. Both the PO and myself were on top of maintenance and my car reflects it. Most are shocked are by how old my car is and how many miles are on it :rofl
Nice milestone Chris.
Just hit 105k on way back home from work today
(Since I'm not driving the other car).

Thanks John! I was at a local car show yesterday and there was a lot of interest in my car. I had done a quick detail beforehand and when I told them she had 150k on her they didn't believe me haha.Quote:

That's very low miles, Alex. Less than 6k per year. No wonder you got a good deal at trade-in.
Yeah, that's what happens when I live a quarter mile from my office, haha.
Must be nice haha. It's like me living in Blacksburg and going to school. The entire town is 8-10 miles long haha. I've put significantly less miles on my car since I've been at VT.
Rolled 156k. Been slow for a little while now. :\
Just picked up an '04 this weekend with 171k and still running like a boss. I'm about to refresh the suspension here soon and give her a facelift. I purchased from a good friend who bought her in 2010 with about 135k IIRC.
Sweet!Quote:

Currently sitting at 47k. Bought the car with 39k at the end of 2011, car spent most of that 39k in Hawaii, not too many miles to rack up there.
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
Just hit 150k. It needs some TLC. I need to do a suspension refresh, window regulators, VCG, AC Comp, exhaust rattle, and brakes.
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.Quote:

Oh and what's the story on the cats ?
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!Quote:

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...Quote:

Dude, I've put 8,000 miles on my car since January LOL!Quote:

people suck. not you guys of course.
