    I know we will never know but I bet each has to be approaching 10k or much, much more by 200k plus miles.

    When I bought my 85 325e from the original owner (my aunt), it came with a folder of every single service done to the vehicle since new. It was always serviced at the local BMW dealer, occasionally Sears/Autozone for light bulbs, batteries, etc... But every receipt was there.

    I added it up one day, it was just over $20k. The original pink slip from 1985 for the car was $21.5k. In the last 12 years, I've easily spent another $15k on it. I personally put 200k VERY hard miles on the car, and it had 100k when I got it. So for a total of about $60k, I have myself an 85 325e.

            oh yeah, this guy had like 260k when the odometer stopped working... then it spent a solid 3 years thrashing about on the ring. Hard life and still holding on strong!

                      Another 200K+ E30 325ix

                      Today's ODO reading is 227,800.


                      Rust-free IX with clean title and service history back to 1,200 first service. Someone loved this car with all of their heart and a lot of their wallet for many years before I found it.
