They didn't do a lifetime worth of cold starts, but the video is still and interesting way to kill 9 minutes:

i post this all the time.

You can see the mercedes one they did....

Only did it for a million kilometers for mercedes.

[Pl3wA]

thats because merc is known to be unreliable

[stamar]

then there was the 1000 mile ad they did for ford....

'you may not want to drive your car for 66 years'

why yes, yes we do.

I have seen this and it doesn't surprise me that these engines can make it to the million mile mark. But also take note that they did the recommended maintenance when it was needed, as opposed to the average person that neglects it. This is also another outstanding reason why I refuse to sell my E30; the engines are damn near bulletproof and they are what started the popularity of the 3 series as it is today. Love it.

You probably dont come on here much, but we are clamping down on the one letter "R.E.P.O.S.T." Most of the time its a timeout. But i thought i'd give you a heads up.

every interval was kept.

someone should do the math on the cost of running the e30 with bmw scheduled maintenance for 1,000,000 miles.

at some point, i bet the numbers say to just buy a new car lol

You can do all the maintenance you want and your car still.won't hit a 1000000 without a ton of repairs. The Most wear and damage happense during the warm up and when you start it when its been sitting for a while

Why did they have the M20 a M42 engines in the commercial?
