That's crazy. I remember driving when my father's old company car, a 1964 Plymouth Savoy (318 three on a tree), when it turned 100k miles. It was absolutely worn out at that point.

Awesome! My E46 just turned over 200k as well.

As a kid growing up, when a car hit 100,000 - Dad gave it away. It was done.

That ended when he gave me his second Rabbit (Sis smashed up the first one). For all I know that Rabbit might still be going, cause I couldn't kill it.

I almost pulled over the other day to get the m5 at 111,111 but I noticed too late. It hit 111,112 before I could there.

thanks guys! after 200k miles my car has 180 PSI across all four cylinders, burns .5 quart of oil every 3500 miles and averages 29.3mpg over the last 60k miles. i would consider that a win, now what car to get next...

In reply to DrBoost:

I would agree with you, I am normally against it, but after my first saab meeting an untimely demise at 197k I had to capture this!
