Question High Miles = Free Car?

im not sure if bmw does this but for toyotas if a person goes over 250 or 300k miles, the company awards a plaque and a new car or something like that. does bmw have anything like that?

so if we get a 335i for 300k miles i get a free m3 or something with the plaque?

You'll be lucky if your 335i can hit 100K

You think a BMW can hit 300k? And you think anyone would want to drive ANY care for that long?

Also show me some proof of this happening. I bet it was a PR stunt and isn't done to everyone if at all anymore. Probably was done for that stupid commercial they have.

Plus why would you want a new Toyota contrary to popular belief Japanese vehicles are the same crap as all the other cars now.

300K is easy to hit on a toyota, well the previous generations at least...my corolla was at 250K when i sold her, still running strong, nothing was fixed except wear and tear things like brakes, rotors, tires etc....

I would never buy a vehicle with that many miles. Mint or not that is looking for trouble.

Plus the car has worked enough let it die.

A woman I knew had 250k miles on her Hyundai Excel. I think that's more impressive than a 500k on a Toyota.
