Title: How many miles do you have? [NOW WITH POLL!]
Post by: Wizard on July 02, 2008, 06:33:22 AM: Only 150k here........BUT.....I bought the car in summer of 2004 after Hurricane Charley destroyed my other cars. The ODO didn't work when I bought the car (and who knows how long it was out) and I haven't fixed it...My drive to work daily is around 60 miles so add another 15,000 a year for 4 years and I am well over 200k...Probably pushing 250k.

Post by: tjts1 on July 28, 2008, 03:13:07 PM: Its funny, my 318i has 153k miles but the other day I found myself ogling a 2001 525i 5 speed with 100k miles for about $9k. I showed it to my friend who has owned his fair share of newer BMWs. He immediately responded with "Are you crazy!?!?! That car has one foot in the grave." I was dumbfounded. Every car I've ever owned was well over 100k miles. My gf drives a volvo 850 with 185k miles and its in much better condition than my E30.

:confused:

Post by: EN318isPDX on July 28, 2008, 03:38:46 PM: Some people wont buy a car unless it has a factory warranty. These are what i like to call the mechanically retarded.

I always think to myself when i see someone in a newer car with 8k miles on it "At least my old beater bmw isn't owned by the bank"

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!! So true. My buddy actually is still making payments on his 2003 Cooper S. Wonderful car but I would hate bills he has to pay.

I will own an E39 sooner rather than later ;)

Post by: EN318isPDX on July 28, 2008, 05:25:41 PM: Yep instead of making a 700 dollar payment to my local bmw dealership, i make a 0-200 dollar part order per month :D

But before the sucker who got the new 3 series pays his off mine will be basically a brand new 1991 3 series for half the price with tons of aftermarket mods and upgrades.

Post by: AcSchnitzer318is on August 04, 2008, 02:01:43 AM: Chassis has ~280,000 on it I'm guessing. Odometer was broken when I bought it in Jan with 240000+ on it. New motor supposedly built by BMW (have receipt from PO) has 34000 miles on it now. Sold the original motor though (blown head gasket) and it is being deposited into a 2002... so it's still going to be ticking. He's already torn down and rebuilt it.

Title: How many miles do you have? [NOW WITH POLL!]
Post by: DesktopDave on May 23, 2009, 07:37:46 AM: 266,800 miles when I bought her. The PO told me that she "runs like a champ." Then she wouldn't start for our test drive. I bought it anyway, always wanted a bright red car! Best $800 I ever spent.

*EDIT*

I don't drive much during the week since there's a train 1/2 mile from my house...but I do occasionally head out of town on work assignments...so she's up over 271k now. I'm saving a nickel every mile that I don't drive the wife's minivan...adds up to hundreds of dollars a year. So I can spend that money to buy parts I need...makes sense, right?

**EDIT**

As of Sept 2010 she just rolled 275,000. Twenty years old and still running very well. Last business trips were nearly 1000 miles and the car hasn't skipped a beat. The best part is the fat mileage reimbursement checks.

**EDIT**

As of December 2010 we're at 278,491. Most of that was from vacationing in North Carolina...800 mile round trip without incident. Unfortunately I cannot change my vote!

**EDIT*

As of the last day of Sept, 2011...284,744! Heading for that 300k mark slowly but surely...given the current rate of about 650 miles/month we'll see that in Sept 2013. Hopefully she'll still be ticking along just like today.

**EDIT**

Just rolled 293K miles during the Chicago adventure. That's only 9K in over four years! I was hoping to be well over 300K by now, but I take mass transit all the time. That's OK...just added a 318iS to the fleet with a mere 143K miles.

I have 3 friends I see several times a week that I have known for over 35 years.

I like the beach link. I wish we had a similar approach to things here in the US...

I also now have another e30 with about 270000 miles, but the poll won't let me do two cars...

Was hoping to keep driving it for a lot more, but I don't have time to keep working on it, and there are too many things going wrong. May have to consider selling either as a project or, if it doesn't pass smog, a parts car.

Around 91,000 miles now. It had 68,000 on it when I got it 2 years ago.

To bump an old thread. Just crossed 110,000 on a working odometer. Replaced the gears with RC car gears a week after it stopped turning.

All the gears, or just the small one?

Oh, and I turned over 160K miles as I ascended Afton Mountain heading to Charlottesville last Sunday.

Post by: DesktopDave on October 26, 2013, 12:54:53 PM: Figured I'd update this. My little red sedan has 287,323 miles on her broken odo. One of these days I'll get that little gear installed!

~~~EDIT~~~
I fixed the odo gear (finally) on Nov. 16th. Had to swap the speedo twice; the odometer on the replacement was bad and the six-cyl fuel gauge won't work with a single sender M42 fuel tank.

According to my records, I've set the odo at 289,617 miles. Given that my overall average is 29.77 MPG, nearly a year's worth of fuel receipts came out to less than 2300 miles. I installed some new front rotors while I was at it. She's still running great!

Post by: DesktopDave on April 14, 2016, 07:20:14 PM: My '91 sedan has gotten up to 293K since I last checked into this poll. I've had to replace an odo gear in the meantime, ended up piecing together an entire MotoMeter cluster to make it work. I had to clock that odo from 120K up to proper mileage and noted that the gears are a totally different design.

I've done a fair amount of work to keep it running over the years and plan to rebuild the motor next year. I'm shooting for 500k miles!
