Just a bit of fun this topic as I was just thinking that it's really quite astonishing the mileages that modern(ish) cars are now cabaple of covering without any serious failiures!

I've just bought an E46 330ci coupe with 59,000 on it and everything feels as new. However this is nothing compared to a friend of mine who has a E39 528i SE automatic which is used as a general workhorse. It's just recently done over 230,000 miles without any serious failures, and still feels good to drive!

Anybody else had similar or betther longevity from their BMW??

I perasonally think with BMW/Merc in general you see a much higher total milage than say Skoda/Ford/fiat - WHY? because the owners keep them going/spend on repairs rather than chop it in.
