Customer came in this morning.

Original bearings, 2008. Still runs like a champ.

This is the highest I've seen so far.

[Helmsman]

Yup, in new hands now. Engine bay was the dirtiest I've ever seen.

first thing that crossed my mind...just using general figures...

264,214 miles divided by 15 mpg = 17,614 gallons of gas used, @ $3.50 per gallon is approximately $61,650 worth of gas over those miles, or $8,807 per year in gas. Wow!

Ask the owner to join the forum. He owns legend.

Any idea if this going to be a DD or a track car?

Pretty sure a DD.

It went for almost no $

Would have bought it in a heartbeat.

It did have a secondary air problem but that's not bad for 250k +

I'll see if he will join.

Pull the bearings?

[duvinclunk]

This is so awesome. I can't imagine owning ANY car for that amount of miles without having some issues.

That's brutal...obviously specific to the area and driving style. I get more than 15mpg combined in my car and gas is much cheaper here (trying to reassure myself that I'm not spending that amount on gas, Ha!).

I bet the owner enjoyed his or her time with the car even if it used a lot of gas. 35k miles per year is not that extraordinary. Years ago, I commuted 600 miles per week and also drove the car on weekends and on trips for a total of about 35k miles per year.

The more I drive, the more I want to be in a car I enjoy. If I drove 35k miles per year and money was an issue, I might look for a fun car with better fuel economy. There are some that might get 1/3 better highway mpg and thus save about 1/3 on gas. But I would not want to drive an econobox 35k miles per year unless I had to.

Pretty sure here she is ...

[normcaldwell]

Great to see a high miles E9x M3 with no bearing issues, or apparently any other significant issues other than a dirty engine bay.

I imagine the owner never tracked the car. Nevertheless . . .
Would love to know what the OCIs have been, as well as tranny, diff, etc.

[UPSROD]

Has anyone heard of rod bearing issues on an M6? Longer stroke and supercharged!

[oolas3]

Too funny it showed back up here. The other post said it traded hands for $13k recently.

[BPMSport]

Found a link with more pics here:

I wish I had my other cable with me to check max rev's, max speed, etc.. but only had the tuning cable.

[njdrive]

What was the trade?

[redpriest]

What a trooper! Glad this showed back up.

[Honda]

Is he going to do rod bearings?

[Mr. Liu]

That car was literally only posted for 2 days before getting sold. What is the owner doing with it? PULL THE BEARINGSS!!!!!
