    Any high mileage E-60 out there? I'm about to 360,000 miles

    I'll have to say, this has been the best driving and least expensive car I've ever owned.

    1 fuel pump
    1 starter
    Several coils
    1 Set of injectors..Probably not needed.
    1Transmission mechotrnic sealing sleeve
    1 Set of cats...that was the big one..$750 with me instzlling..And my fault. Long story....burned a lot of old two stroke mix and probably 8 gallons of diesel than I need to dispose of. I would only pour in a quart per fill up. But they lasted 300,000 so still not bad.I

    Here is the part in battling with...the suspension is pretty much shot. It would cost as much to rebuild than the car is worth. But I truly love this car. It looks like it has 50k on it. Garage keep. Normally I'm ready to dump my other cars after many miles. Not this one. The funny part is, my wife has given my the green light on another beemer. I'm not sure direct injection will last this long.

    Congrats on reaching that milestone! One thing though, what year is it?

    Edit: okay, two things.... It's "bimmer", not beemer", hence the spelling of this forum.

    Congratulations on the mileage!
    How expensive do you think it would be to renew the suspension?

    Suspension rebuild is not that bad. RockAuto has decent OEM brands at good prices. Just buy it all and install at once.
