The 100k club

[hoshy]

So who's rocking over 100k?

Mine rolled over a few months back and apart from not having the smoothest of changes (since the day I bought it at @81k) I've had no problems and all touch wood seems well.

Just thought I'd pull together a thread as it will be interesting to monitor reliability.

This makes me feel very guilty. Mines only on 49k and havent driven her for 6 months (or seen her) Planning to sort this with a trip to the IOM early June.

Sir, you need to start putting some miles on that thing! Are you coming to Munich?

I know I wanted to and had my name down but work commitments overseas have got in the way unfortunately.

Shame! but, I guess it'll still be there when you're back, and it's only going up in value

Not quite there.....but nearly.

Yes mines already been there . It's just rolled over to 108k. I've only owned since December 12 but other than a seatbelt tensioner and a Pre cat lambna sensor. It's been fine.
A week after I purchased and after a Indy inspection (clean bill of health) I decided to jack the car up and check for myself. Low and behold offside front crack and nearside rear subframe chassis cracks that I discovered.
Cut a long story short BMW Knights did the subframe repair free under warranty but had the car for 5 weeks. I hand the 6 bushes replaced and now the car feels a lot better.
So the 100k club still can be very rewarding indeed.
Condition and service history is more important than milage

this does scare me. unfortunately I'm without warranty and although the subframe looks good from the boot I've not had the subframe lowered for a proper inspection yet. Otherwise, my experience is the same.. Needed diff seals for the German MOT but apart from that all good - don't around 20k in just over a year lol. I reckon I can get 200k out of this bad boy (work pays fuel :p)
