This guy has 212k miles on his 2007 335i. Given, he is looking for a new car as his 335i is on its last legs:

Inside I have a Rotary SPO-A10, which is an asymetrical 2-post lift with a 10,000 pound capacity. It is one of the most popular commerical lifts on the market. It cost $3,500 installed in December 2004. I have a Ingersol-Rand SL55 air compressor. The shop is heated with a 65,000 BTU Hot Dawg shop heater that hangs from the ceiling in the corner and with a 100 gallon propane tank for the fuel source. Thanks for asking. Once you have a lift, you never go back to crawling under a car. Hell, I even lift them just to wax the doors. |

good write up. Good to see ! just goes to show, if you take care of the car right with correct service intervals and recommended oils... they will last a long time.
I've got a bit of a thing for high milage BMW's... don't ask why. My E90 is currently on 94,000. My goal is to get it to at least 150,000 and then keep the miles climbing until I run it into the ground. Congratulations on the 200,000 milestone. |

I have an 08' 335xi with 75,000 and I want to get to 200,000. Why are so many people saying that is a foolish goal!? My BMW mechanic says these forums are great for learning but full of fear mongering and as long as I don't mod up the car and drive like a 17 yrs old I should have every reason to see 200k.

Can't believe it took 14 pages of posts to get a picture - and a really old one at that! Congrats on the milestone, but it should be a requirement that all 200k-Club announcements begin with pics of the car!
I've owned a couple of 200K-Club cars over the years. Here's one. The other was a '77 320i, which I'll have to go find the pic offline somewhere.

Well check out this post for a little tidbit of information once you hit 200,000:
I discovered this little software programming gem by our beloved BMW AG at 225K this past August. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=926864 |

Man that is an awesome lift. I wish I had room for something like that. Loved the old Honda scrambler. That would be nice restoration project.

I am in love with my 08' 335xi ... I have every intention of getting her to 200,000 and this thread is making my month! (needed love since also a Bronco fan since 1984)
Should I start changing oil at 5k rather than the recommended 17K? |

Sometimes you have to trust the guys who designed the cars. If you track your car, that's a different story altogether. |
