    Damn, talk about high mileage. (NON BMW CONTENT)

    We should all strive to be like this woman.
    Maintenance is key!

    These days, most people consider themselves lucky if a new car lasts 5 to 10 years. Make it to 100,000 miles in your vehicle, and the car company might make a commercial about you. That makes 93-year-old Rachel Veitch a notable exception. Veitch is retiring her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente after more than 576,000 miles [...]

      Body and trim look nice on it. Make a nice parts car for someone when she parks it.

          My dads 1997 s10 blazer he just sold had 476k on it.

          Cool stuff tho. I'm yet to understand why people think 150-200k is high mileage. Not a single car in our driveway is under 200k miles. As long as you maintain a vehicle, it will live.

                yeah i know. I remember about 10 years ago. My dad bought a 70 Dodge Coronet with 10,000 original miles. It was a four door. How it end up? It got chopped up for a Super Bee to live.

                  theres an article on the net about a bmw driver with a million miles. Im pretty sure hes american and he uses mobil 1


                  its not the million mile e30 I think its an e36.

                  my mistake its a saab

                  A travelling salesman who put more than 1 million miles on his 1989 Saab is getting a new one from the Swedish manufacturer, which now says it will offer replacements to other original owners of million-mile Saabs during 2007.

                      I retired my first e30 with 315K-ish...and that was only because of the rust, and it was kind of a college beater car, i actually had no interest in e30s before I bought that, saw it for cheap and boom....2 e30s later

                            I regularly service a facelift 530d e39 at work, it had as of last week over 800,000km on it. Motor has never been pulled apart, orig. turbo, And I have now done 2 sets of wheel bearings- one at about 300,000, the other last year at just over 700,000. Owner plans on keeping it until 1 mil.
                            had to replace the rusted out fuel lines on it last week.
