I can play that game too - 2006 (May) 22,000 miles  Java with Ivory 2006 4.2 Supercharged. 23.5k miles - NOW SOLD!

111,00 miles here, 2002

bought my 2002 v8 with 145k on it, admittedly i bought it with timing chain fault. -guides had broken. when opened up, was quite suprised at how wonderful clean engine internals were. synthetic oil you see. a very slight orangy brown stain to wall of engine, but no, repeat no BLACK DEATH! like we saw on all old engines back in the day! good for another 100k, to get to the moon, and the return leg!
i've put a thousand miles on it since repair of chain/vanos, car today, is perfect sounding. no tappets, no vanos clatter, (these where serviced with the chain). no leaks, no start up chatter. -and not using oil!!! difficult to believe, but true.

i ran a bmw 5 series, m50 engine with 200k on it, it was perfect. again, all clean inside. (also chain driven timing. ) BMW build fantastic engines, i would not hesitate in buying a high miler again. so long as the oil has been changed, and its not leaking out! - i saw once in a breakers yard, a BMW 7 series, from the 1987 ish era, with 475k showing on the clock. in those days, that was high milage. -car was smashed in back, so had not 'died'

2004 (54) - 133,500 still going as strong as new! Tom

2004 V8 Petrol - 154,000. running beautifully (previously owned by 2 forum members so well looked after)

only replaced the water pump which went a few thousand miles ago. Nothing else gone wrong!!

living the dream!!

I got my 54 reg TD6 in Oct last year with 151,600 miles on the clock, did some preventative maintenance on her...service, gearbox oil and filter, second hand/refurbed steering rack and track rod ends, just to get her fully up to my high standards and cos she gets used every day for work (110 mile round trip daily).

She's now got 172,000 miles on the clock (got her serviced just over a month ago) and running like a beauty!!
