200k daily driver
Discussion
I agree. I bought it at 113k 4 years ago. I know all of its foibles.
It takes 60 litres, gives about 280 miles a tank, which means plenty of tedious, cold slow minutes standing by an LPG pump. But I'll forgive it!
Just interested as I don't know how far this will go. It makes perfect sense now, just fill with fuel and waft away, but at some point it will get expensive...

I have a BMW 520d Touring which is just over 3.5 years old and about to go through 160,000 miles. It's a company car that I've had from new. Suspect it will get close to 200,000 miles before it goes back given the delivery schedules for its 330e replacement. The joys of a 160 mile daily commute...

Is there anyone else nuts or desperate enough to run a 200k mile daily driver?
Yes, there's a 3 page thread on people who do too, I give you The 200,000 Mile clubtombar said:

Yup.
OK - I'm 1400 miles shy...but every single thing in the car works flawlessly.
How exciting! I got very childish about passing 200k, even videoed it (safely!). Enjoy!OK - I'm 1400 miles shy...but every single thing in the car works flawlessly.
But... it was much more comfortable than everything else we had.... It has become the daily drive.
I bought my 2 year old F31 320d with just 25,000 miles last year.
One year later I added 31,000 on top and in the next month I'll finally hit 100,000km or 62k miles.
I plan to keep the car about four years so it'll just have shy of 150k (miles), when I finally sell it thanks to my daily 120 mile round commute.
Apart from tyres and brakes it's been perfect. Fingers crossed it stays this way!

I love seeing threads like this as I'm venturing into higher mileages cars as day to day cars.
I currently own a Saab 9-3 with 140k on the clock and am looking at E-Class Mercs to replace it (purely as I fancy one) and they're 100k upwards. Great to see many cars doing double that mileage!
