190k not bad, there is something about looking after a car and putting big miles on it. I have friends with nice car who don't drive them as they don't want to put any miles on them...

I'll hopefully put another 10,000 miles on mine in the next 4 months before it sold..

E60 535d on 190k miles.
Serviced every 10-15k miles since new (I have FSH).

Recently:

Wheels refurbed
New front bumper painted and fitted (I hit something and cracked the bumper)
New wiper arm mechanism.
CCC unit (idrive) sent away and returned back fixed (Revtronic)
Serviced
DPF cleaned out
Vacuum hoses changed

Car is off road and being diagnosed today - little to no power at 3k rpm and performance from the first turbo I would describe as dull or blunt. It had come up with something to do with back pressure when checked at MOT.

Yep. Will start to pay attention to crank bearings. Otherwise engine is solid since its first m57 revision and should be alright till 800k.

M57 was and still is able to hit 6 figures smile

620k km now, just changed oil and filter. Old oil and filter clean af, so bearings can wait a bit. 8)

That's only 385,000 miles. Toyotas aren't concerned or impressed just yet. Upload a picture of the mileage in the DME as proof smile

What does the bodyshell look like after 600,000 KM? Still the original paint and panels?
