Highest mileage E34 on the road, on the forum

[E34tn]

I have 176K on my 90 535i. Runs smooth as can be and seems to shift good with the auto trans. Original motor and transmission as far as i know. Has a little bit of a lumpy idle from time to time but this seems to be somewhat common with the E34. Im so in love with this car and i plan on keeping this one for a long time.

184,xxx on my 530i 3.0L V8.

90k on the Alusil shortblock replacement.

[mckazok]

[bill7611]

[bmwwheelman]

wow my car is still a baby with 160000 miles on it!

[redmaptonowhere]

I don't know if anybody's has reached half a mill but I bet if you put on most of them and made a video of is clicking over BMW would say something about it. Or probably not, But I know if I made cars and someone send me a video of my car clicking over to 500.000 I would buy them a new car.

Just hit 208,000 this week. My round trip daily commute is roughly 100 miles per day so she is racking up the miles quickly. She splits duty with my E46 if the weather is bad but I've still managed to put 12k on her since I bought her 8 months ago. Other than the sloppy steering due to wasted front suspension and shocks, she drives great. Every day when I get out on the interstate and hit that sweet spot at about 80mph she just purrs like a kitten.

You have to have the highest mileage M60b40 on the board.

I only recently went past 107,000.

Jehu, did you do an engine replacement at one point or does your current M60 have all 381k on it?

If you read back in this thread you see I state the Warranty Swap was done by BMW @98,000 miles.

When I bought this car in Early Srping 2006 the engine had around 30k on it..

[BoldUlysses]

Since this seems to have become a "post your mileage" thread, mine ticked over 150K yesterday... For the record, my M50 got an oil change a month ago and exactly 6 quarts came out. I love these engines.

[toyotahachiroku]

relatively low at 180,000km for an e34. the m60 is a temperamental engine.

[misswin]

woo! thread revival. awesome!


I'm at 260,xxx currently. 7 years ago I started with 176k. Love it.

[TexFinn]

Mine's getting up there, too...: 284xxx as of a couple of hours ago.

[ShapeShifter]

Meh, I'm not counting. I just put in gas, turn up the tunes and go....
I will say, it's still under 150k.

[brettholomew21]

215,000 miles here. Loads of trouble since I've owned it, but it's all been basic maintenance that just happened to go wrong when I bought it. I hope.

[ATrain91]

I've seen/heard some pretty amazing numbers of the mileage a stock/original E34 can do if well cared for. I've seen some of the posts on the forums about mileage in excess of 300K.

If you're over 200K miles and still driving the car daily, post here and let us know. Let us know what major drivetrain components are original and which are not, and any longevity tips.

-Jeff

Just the other day I turned 326, 007 mi on my '90 535i daily driver. Engine and transmission are both original stock. The pics here are from October last year so the current miles are not in the pic.
