Impressive, less than 20k till you get to the moon.

My 330ci is on 196k so not far behind you, 22 years old and still used daily.

I had an E46 330d with 252k. Someone drove into it and wrote it off.

Mate of mine (who is a member on here but doesn’t post much) bought a 125i with 150k on the clock and added a further 100-odd K before selling it on. It’s still going strong because he’s seen it about a few times.

I'm planning on keeping mine going until the BMW warranty stops paying out due to age/mileage. smile

300 miles short of 200K miles on my 12 plate F11 520D. Looking to move it on in the next few weeks once it has made the 200K smile Planning to get a ULEZ compatible 520D or 525D to replace it as have been impressed after owning it for 8 years.l

I know of someone, not on this site I think, who has his 5 series touring (e61) up over 200k. Not that impressive you may think, till I point out his is the M5.

200k at about 15mpg. That is commitment!

I know of an E46 with 358k miles on it. I don't think the gentleman is on this site.

Nice. Petrol or diesel? Original engine?

My e46 330i Touring has 194k miles on it so not doing too badly. Runs very nicely apart from an EML for cat efficiency. Just did 36mpg on a fully loaded 300 mile motorway run at 70. The rust will kill it sadly.

My 2005 E90 330i (N52B30) has got 249k on it and still counting...

I think VANOS issues will kill it this year but it's been a fantastic all rounder for the last 130k / 8 years..
It'll become a backup / parts car for my new daily.

I know that feeling. The 339ci was looking reasonable with arches sorted five years ago, but this winter the brown blisters have appeared from under the sill covers. Need to brave removing them to see what I find before long.
