Just wondering what the highest mileage people have seen on an E46 330 petrol. My 330ci sport is up around 162K. I seem to recall seeing one in classifieds with 200k on.
I intend to run mine until it dies.
Any pics of mileometer to prove high 330 mileages?

Update:
Still got the 330 sport. Now on 198k.
How is everyone else's? Anyone over 200k yet?

About to click over 204k. Just had wheels refurbed and new boots all round. New water pump & viscous fan. It deserves it!
Here's to 250k.

Anything with that mileage could go bang at any time. I'd look for low number of previous owners and plenty of stamps in service book. Look at small details like make of tyres and whether they all match to indicate meticulous ownership.
If serviced regularly I think these engines will last indefinitely.
I love mine to bits. Would take a good offer to prise her away...

Saw one on AT with 270k on it earlier in the week.
Just had oil service done on mine yesterday. That's 27 stamps in the book now. 206500 up now.
I'll keep it as long as it runs.

Mine passed its mot today & had another service. That's 29 stamps in the book now & 225000 miles in the clock.
Thinking of selling after 14 years ownership. Anyone interested? If not I will keep running it.
Can anyone top my mileage?

That's a 330i? Good work for sure. How many years have you had it, what's been done it it's time with you?

Yes a 330ci sport petrol auto. I've had it since September 2004.
Anything that's needed doing has been done at local indi. 29 stamps in the book.
Recently had airbag recall done at bm w dealer and technician said he couldn't believe how well it drove considering age and mileage.
