Likewise - it looked fantastic for all those miles.
+1. Would never guess that it has done those miles.
I thought that too!

Hopefully it makes more sense now for everyone!

302k Yesterday.



This tank also did 600 miles, a new record for me. Genuine 47.5mpg over the tank of Diesel.

Good to see it is still munching miles. thumbup

My 320td Compact did over 600 miles on a tank a few times, but 500 miles was the best my 123d would manage because the tank only held 55 litres.

Great to see you keeping on with the miles, I saw your car in the hangar, waited around to speak to you but you were stood with two gentlemen for quite a while and SWMBO wanted to leave and go to Bicester Village.

My best so far in my 530d was 704 miles to a tank in June visiting a client. Was aiming for 800 miles but bad traffic on the way home put a stop to that

I’m new here. Love the thread. Found it when searching what I should plan to replace so my d3 will last 200k. I now realise I’ve set ambition too low! Had it a year. Drive 30 to 40k pa. Currently a baby on 89k. Current issues are suspected wheel speed sensor failure and offside front needing internal refurb as not holding air. High spec save for open diff. Active cruise for me was a must which is why I ended up with this rather than 335d which rarely have. Tyres are ps4s which are awesome and I dont know what the mileage was on them at purchase but by my reckoning 30k could be possible. Just to cover another point back in the thread. I shod it in winter contis last year and hugely impressed. I live at the end of a one mile steep farm track at elevation in Cumbria so snow and ice regular challenge. I was worried with open diff and rwd normally relying on defender2 but the only fail was deep slush.

Will pass 305K today.

Doing a steady 2k/month in it again even with my E46 M3 on the seen.


Looked over a friends M4 the other day (since when did these get down to £17k..!). Drive looked rather BMW heavy (considering the Cobra has E46 suspension and differential too!).
