Only big maintenance it had was throttle actuators. Since then i did

- Rod bearings
- Valve cover gasket
- Oil filter housing gasket
- Thermostat and waterpump
- All fluids
- Brake fluid flush
- MS Stage 2 intake, MS Pullies X pipe, Exhaust, Alpine Stage 2 tune, Ohlins R&T, GAS Monoballs

Car has been running great I just took it to a track day and beat on it for 7 20 minute sessions. Hope it lasts a lot longer! Current miles 203,5xx

How were those stock rod bearings when you took them out?

Normally don't like too high of mile cars, but grabbed a 2009 E90 M3 with 116k on it.

Getting my lists together on what I need to knock out leading up to spring.

I am at 139k and runs great...doesnt burn oil, and It will be my full time track car soon.

09 e90 bought with 107k almost 4 years ago had rod bearings changed 3 days later as preventive maintenance, bank 1 actuator went out last week I am at almost 144k no other major maintenance needed, besides a battery and alternator. I change the oil once a year/10k.
I get random electrical gremlins like my adaptive headlights will get stuck but they reset everytime i restart the car but all in all shes reliable af.

*dont mind my christmas tree that was when the actuator killed itself*

I had some seepage from the o-rings on the back of the thermostat housing. The mechanic noted that my fan blades were starting to crack. I replaced the fan myself. Not bad in terms of time but there was added time to address some issues with some threaded inserts on my air box. Mileage is close to 187k miles now.

Just hit 53k miles on my E93. I guess with how crazy the market is now and buyers being even more crazy, mine is considered high milage. 😅 sorry couldn't help myself trash talking the market.

This is super impressive. Very reasonable list for 200k mile car that goes to the track.

08 with 140k still runs like a maniac. just replaced driveshaft and added some more mean all around.

Just sold my 2010 E92 at almost 99K. Bought it at 81K.

During my ownership, I replaced the rod bearings, transmission, driveshaft, thermostat, heater core, front & rear rotors/pads, idler & crankshaft pulleys/belts & battery LOL

Whoa. Definitely time to sell it. Diff, radiator or head gasket were about to go. Buy high sell low.
