I replaced one of my TAs at 87k, watch what you say!

Took this over the weekend, can't wait to hit 100k!

A local car guy just picked up one with 120k miles, he is brave.
The car didn't really have any service history aside oil changes.
And he is already modding the car, so lets see how long this last.

He's smart. The high mileage ones are usually clear of all the engine issues, and since we have engines/transmissions on here with 260K+ miles, I'd say he has very little to worry about.

Just hit 130K tonight! Had her for about 9K miles and I'm loving it so far.

phrozen06 · 11-21-2015, 02:04 PM

Finally at 204,094 miles my Oil level sensor goes out, along with my ABS and Stability Control Error coming on. The car did not go into any limp mode or anything but the rear end seemed to sway left to right.

Parts replaced:

Oil Level Sensor 12-61-7-607-910
Pulse Generator (aka Speed sensor) 34-52-6-870-077
Angular Ball Bearing 33-40-6-775-842
Lock Ring 07-11-9-934-755
Drive Flange Hub 33-41-2-283-020
Collar Nut 33-41-1-133-785

Back on the road. It's pretty remarkable that it took 204k miles for these parts to give up the ghost which speaks to the reliability of E9X M's.

Wow
I do love this thread

Excellent! Good to see. I'm at ~140,000 now: 2008 E92.

These cars are very dependable. Yes maintenance on some exclusive M3 items can be a little pricey when needed, but the car is robust throughout. YEARS of experience building the 3 Series and it has been continuously in the top ten of best cars every year for decades.

The sum of all that experience and engineering is undeniable.

My sister had a 2002ti, my Mother a 320i, Father a 528i amd 530i. Me a 325e, 328xi, and now my M3.

G80indy · 11-21-2015, 04:52 PM

Question for 1 owner 100k+ miles club members:
What is your OCI throughout your ownership from day 1?

sukotto · 11-22-2015, 02:01 PM

wouldn't high mileage be over 150k? 50k is barely broken in!

Sooooooo......
What have the OCIs been on these high mileage stars?
Please weigh in!

only 90k here,

original owner did 12-15k oil changes until about 60k, then roughly every 8-12k (once a year). OEM 10w60

schwin · 11-25-2015, 10:39 AM

63k here! Fuel pump was replaced at 53k and idler pulley at 60k.

nholmes · 11-25-2015, 11:30 AM

Year: Prod. date 05-13-2008
Miles: 103,xxx
No tracking, moderate to spirited driving style.
Issues: None, but I will be converting this car into a track car soon and doing the rod bearings.

runnyeggsham · 11-25-2015, 08:15 PM

39,000 miles and getting O2 errors according to my cheapy bluetooth scanner. Looks like both O2 sensors may need changing. The display shows the car on lifts at startup. Hoping it was a gas cap issue but it's been 2 weeks and its not going away. The sensors dont look cheap even if Bosch and not OEM. Will prob just take it to my BMW guy.

Seems hit and miss if you ask me as for reliability. Fuel pump going out at 57k for guy below and O2 sensors going out at 39 when they should last 100k miles is hardly reliable.

Congrats on rolling 100k.

Let's try to keep this thread to 6 figures plus.

Car is on original bearings, but after a DCT tune the car started throwing TVA codes.

I'm pulling both of them now to crack them open and take a look. I'll be replacing them with upgraded OEM TVAs since this my M3 is a 100% track car now.

jrs_66 · 12-17-2015, 11:46 AM

Nice to see people finally posting cars with high mileage... really any 2008 with under 100k is low mileage.

steven747 · 12-20-2015, 11:02 PM

08 94k 2nd owner bought at 71k and doing 5k oci. Bad bearing tick, engine seized and motor is being rebuilt at AutoTalent right now. Should be done by the 3rd of Jan. Blackstone my oil 3 times prior to failure and no sign of excessive wear. Always used Castrol 10-60 BMW oil but now when I get the car back i'm switching to lick molly. Unfortunate big headache. Haven't had my car since July 3rd. Feel free to ask questions ill try and answer them.
