202k miles and mechanically still ran strong. The car is now ready to be parted out after an accident.

1999 528i
I bought a 1999 528i a few years back for $4K and now have 176K on it. Incredibly the engine is smooth and quiet. I do fix things form time to time like the idler pully etc. but I'm very impressed on how well this car is designed. I hope to get 300K or so out of it.

I bought my 2000 540i last summer with 162K on it, it's likely going to hit the 200K mark later this week (or at least very darn soon) - planning to yank the engine this weekend, just because I want to replace all the timing components, fix a few oil leaks, and rebuild the VANOS and cooling systems.
