Highest mileage UK E91/2/3? Mine's on 199k.
Discussion
This is all very reassuring. My E92 is on the verge of 100k and, with the annual oil changes, performs very well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when searching, I recall seeing the Autotrader review for this model as being 4.6 out of 5. I don't remember seeing a higher rating - so why would I want anything else?
(apart from my E63 645ci)

I don't think I am doing this right? But my N53 E92 is at about 88k and 15 years old.
So it should easily last until it becomes a historic vehicle at 40 years old!
I don't doubt the engine would last to mega mileage but I'd be surprised if we can still get injectors for our n53 in 40 years time - it's looking sketchy now So it should easily last until it becomes a historic vehicle at 40 years old!
My 335i has just ticked over 94k, so not that high but it’s put on 15k in the year and a bit that I’ve hd it.
My other half’s 125i is on 104k and the E91 that’s replacing it is on 157k but it drives well enough and the N52 doesn’t worry me too much.
My friend bought a 125i with 152k on the clock and added a further 100k without too much drama.

My 125i is on 169k and still going strong.
I've also started following a group on Facebook called Mileage Impossible that features all sorts of high mileage cars, and I can confirm the E9x range make frequent appearances. I've seen a US 328i on 400k, and a European 320d (M47) on something ridiculous like 600k. Seems they are capable of pretty big mileages when looked after.

I finally retired my 2005 E90 330i SE Manual last autumn.
The intermittent VANOS issue caused a few brief breakdowns (5 min key off key on) and the economy was getting more variable, so I bit the bullet and sorted the ABS on my E91 equivalent and swapped to that.
The E90 put it's feet up at 260k. Yes 260k!! It's still in the lower barn next to the horse box and has been used as a bit of a parts car when the water pump went on the E91. It still sounds sweet and really together. Amazing really. I ran it from 120k and the biggest bill was the ECU swap after the original got flooded due to the usual lack of drainage issue.
Right now, I can't see me not running any sort of E9X N52 until either we run out or the world wakes up to their value.
Great cars

I can't either, they are just so good at nearly everything despite being worth very little. Great cars
And since my manual 2005 330iSE Saloon has only done 125K I might never need another one!

That’s a good effort.The intermittent VANOS issue caused a few brief breakdowns (5 min key off key on) and the economy was getting more variable, so I bit the bullet and sorted the ABS on my E91 equivalent and swapped to that.

My wife’s E91 330i is on 171k, so hopefully plenty of life left in it yet. I’ve just done a 200mile round trip to pick up some wheels tonight and it sipped fuel (for a three litre petrol), was plenty brisk enough and generally a good car.
The N52 is a great engine and I don’t think we really know how lucky we were that such an engine ended up in a fairly mundane, normal car.
