New stock bushings? Solid sub-frame bushings would be better. But great!

08 E90 6MT with 83K miles here. (I bought it with 78K) A/C evaporator at 80K... no other issues to report other than the 13mpg around town.

Stumbled upon this 09 DCT with 350k km on a German website... http://suchen.mobile.de/auto-inserat...=EXPORT&noec=1

Helmsman · 09-24-2014, 03:41 PM

Wow, that must be a record..?

When real it's a record !
But personal i'm thinking it's an error , they are saying it has 349.700 km on it , but probably ...and more possible it's 34.970 km .
Anyway would love to know it .

08 e90 6MT 83k.... bought at 60k no problems so far only did all new brakes and rotors. have my eyes on lead count and trans synchros if anything

Trakrzy · 09-24-2014, 07:05 PM

Sitting at 76k on my sedan. Did brakes and rotors last year and regularly tracked. Engine feels healthier than my 12 coupe. Go figure.

Well I switched over to moly 10w60 and I have gained mpg. Not sure why. But I'm getting an extra 1.1 mpg than before. Motor seems to run smoother as well.. I Have 99400 miles with many more to go! Been running liquid moly for 3500 miles!

Mine just rolled 59k miles and it's running like a champ. Car is in excellent shape inside and out, and I purchased it from a high end dealer who performed an oil change and put liquid moly 10w60 in it. I have an appointment for an oil/trans/diff fluids change this coming Thursday at my local dealer - it's been 8,500 miles since I purchased the car. I can report very minimal oil consumption as I haven't had to add any oil at all, and when I select the oil measurement option on my dash it shows right at half ('OK'). I have a Blackstone kit in the trunk of my car, which I will be sending off for analysis this coming Thursday.

I'm switching back to Castrol 10w60 for comparison purposes. I have no complaints in regards to liquid moly - it's been great in FL heat.

Thanks!

Where mine is is FULL. If it was up all the way, it will not generate a OVERFILLED warning, but anything over that it will. It's finicky. This is where you want it.

Read the manual. It's explains how to interpret the electronic dipstick.

nujabes24 · 10-22-2014, 01:33 PM

110817 and about to call it a day in 8 days when i get me M4. Going to miss you guys, keep them miles coming. hopefully the M4 last as long as my E92 did.

W/// · 10-22-2014, 01:50 PM

Very close to 82k miles now. Don't drive it quite as much now that I have an E36 M3 to putt putt around. The car is in great shape inside out, considering its age and mileage. Thinking of doing a few things to it early next year:
- 275/30/19 PSS up front
- Wheel stud conversion
- Reinstall lip and side skirt extenders after I refinish them (might try a different finish this time). Ignore the gap in the pic, I took them off shortly afterwards
- New brake pads, the fronts are almost worn out
- Maybe Performance steering wheel

Still love this car after over 2 years and 25k miles driven:

Rahul718 · 11-04-2014, 11:43 AM

I'm happy to read this thread. I was contemplating NOT buying a 09-10 M3 due to the bearing issues and rather going with a 335i, but this thread just affirms what every other car forum does: that it will make it seem like the issues are widespread.

Looking forward to finding a 09-10 M3 with 40-50k miles! It'll be a keeper for sure.
