How many miles you got?

didn't know you could talk smack on yourself ;)275,000ish. '87 325is.
Sees redline several times EVERY time it gets driven.
Fresh WalMart high mileage (very high zinc content, don't talk smack unless you know the chemistry) oil and a Mahle, Mann or BMW filter every 3,000 miles.
PO beat the bitch down so bad...valve stems are totally shot, can't use a gauge to measure valve lash, so I do it by hand/feel...nice and quiet.
Car has definitely lost power in the last 10,000 miles. Time for some serious work, like a 24V swap or a fresh motor.
Good luck on the quest.

unknown...... hehe odo broke at 147,000 in 2004, it was some ladies 3rd car that her uncle gave her and was not driven much in the past 4 years. My guess is it is near 165K-175K at this point. I really need to buy new gears.Leave a comment:
