Just had an inspection 2 service at 121,000 and all seems well.....

Wondering if anyone else has done this sort of mileage in an E46 330ci and what their experiences are?

I still really enjoy the car and it looks and feels in really nice condition - so don't really want to sell!

But is it more realistic to chop it in now, before something goes 'bang'?

Cheers!

My old 330i Sport had 125k miles on it when I sold it. Still going strong. Had the usual suspension bushes replaced and the clutch, but that was all. It used a bit of oil (1litre every 3-4kmiles) but that was all. They're a great car and way better looking than the E90/E92/E93.

You may as well keep it. My current E46 330d only has 77k on the clock, so it's got a bit of catching up to do! wink

How has it been driven from new? By yourself or thrashed around town by 5 not so careful owners?

If its the former not the latter there is no reason why it won't continue to serve you well. My 530i is on 150-something k now and still feels fresher and tighter than our 58k around-town same age 530d.
