Please let me know how many miles your cars have on them??

270k
170k
150k

I think it's safe to assume that in an enthusiast environment like this, these cars could run for a LONGGG time just because we don't necessarily think that taking apart an engine to "freshen it up" is a bad thing. That and suspension rebuilds add life to a car like no other.

My86 325 e has 300.000 on the ticker and starts right up and runs great.
:pimp:

Close to 300k on the bottom end, head was re-done about 20K ago. Runs great.

Theres a few guys on here with 300k +

Id like to make one last to a million. That would be epoch.

That kicks ASS... Good looks like with a major TUNE UP --Ill be in good shape. Even when it idled like shit it still was pretty fast through all the gears and i know atleast 35-30% of its power is not being used..

The car has dinan exhaust, intake and a chip. What other horsepower mods can be done, headers?

For the love of Zeus, SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!

def past 300k. i say this not only cause ive seen it but because my buddy has an 03 ford e150 about to hit 300k and it would be shameful for a bmw not to last as long as that shit box

There are Ford forums you know... Next time try answering with something useful.

I guess my M20 was short-lived, I popped a rocker at 265k miles @ 7100 RPM...

I am a BMW technician (since about 1980) I have seen many m20s go well past 250K with good maintenance.

I have seen quite a few go beyond 350 as well.

and one or two past half a million.

Maintenance is key here.

My 87 325is is right about 280,000 and sees redline several times every day.

The GFs '89 325i is 140,00ish and runs sweet.
