I doubt many of the E9X M3s are up to 60K yet. I am at 37K ('08) and it is awesome to drive, no mechanical problems at all. However, I drove a friend's 2010 with about 12-13K recently and it drove even better! Not sure if it is because the grass is greener on the other side, whether my suspension is getting light wear or if there were any subtle changes between model years.

My ex E36 M3 is approaching 175K and running strong. Darn! I shouldn't have sold it.

I'm interested in these kinds of threads to help me make the decision of keeping my car after warranty or not. You can make any car last 100K miles (or whatever), but just as the OP said, we're more interested in problems encountered to get to that mileage than the mileage itself. And I'm particularly interested in '08s, since those are the cars more prone to bearing damage (although several '11s are on that boat too). Vanos and idle valve are high on my list too, as they're not nearly as serious as a bearing problems, but pretty darn expensive to tackle on our own. Next in line is all the electronic crap (every option here), which has a lot of gremlins, and it's very difficult to diagnose sometimes. Imagine having to pay $75/hr for diagnostics and freaking dealer can't find what's wrong? THAT also scares me about no warranty, since there's only 1 dealer 300 miles around. Good day gang.

I've found that high millage rates tend to reduce the quality of the flour. You should grind less wheat in your car.
