How many miles do you guys have on your n52's?

ethanjoon · 07-12-2014, 04:49 PM

About to hit 123k on my e90 330i 6mt. Running great; wouldn't be able to tell the mileage is so high. Clutch has never been replaced and feels brand new

Thanks for the tip!

edit: just to avoid causing confusion for those that may read my post, this post is about M54 maintenance. NOT N52

Having done them to my fiance's ZHP with 120k, world of difference.

156,000KM. Aside from the water pump, the N52 has been a solid.

Mister_E9Two · 07-18-2014, 07:54 AM

44,620 on my 2012

hassmaschine · 07-18-2014, 07:58 AM

'06 E90 330i: 101,000
'06 E91 325xi: 90,000

both are 6mt, both run like new. It used to be 100k miles wasn't much for a BMW, we'll see how these do.

LittleBlue · 08-02-2014, 10:39 PM

'06 325I 70k miles...

water pump, therm... etc.
eccentric sensor and motor
Differential !!!!
window motor
a couple of cylinder heads
the rest is just maintenance stuff...brakes, belt, tensioner and pulleys.

E90 Skye · 09-02-2014, 10:27 AM

153k on my 06 330i. Have had it for every one of those miles. And aside from pump failure and some oil leaks (mostly o-rings) it's been really good to me. Still drives like a much newer car! I actually recently test drove some newer cars. Low mileage TL low mileage A4 2.0T... and both made me love my 330 all the more. So took some time pampering her this weekend!

J-Spec Dan · 09-02-2014, 10:55 AM

06 E90 330i - About to hit 78k and I took ownership at 36k

GoRomeo · 09-02-2014, 12:04 PM
