100,000 Miles!
Good evening all,
Today I passed the 100,000 mile mark on the way home from service and work. It's been an awesome experience today and for the entire time that I've owned the car so I thought I'd share my experiences; I feel that too many posts on these forums are negative. Here is a reminder that good things can happen as well! BMW 335i purchased new in July 2009. This morning I dropped off my car at Herrin-Gear BMW at 9:30 with 99964 miles on the odometer. Spoke to my service adviser about what needed to be done before I was on my own. He recommended an oil change and standard scope. I asked to replace the plugs and that the brakes be checked as they were replaced at 87000 miles but were squealing sometimes lately. I also requested a transmission fluid flush and filter change to be completed out of pocket. Received a 328i loaner and went about my way. 2:00- SA calls and tells me that my transmission pan has a small crack in it and is leaking. There is still plenty of fluid in there, he says, so nothing else is worn. I ask to go ahead and replace it, SA says no problem and that the car will be ready by 5. 5:00- I pick up my car. Everything is finished and BMW is paying for everything but the tranny fluid and labor. I pay $349.99 and drive away; car feels brand new! The transmission is butter smooth again and there are no more squeaks. According to invoice, I got new oil, plugs, new wiper blades, new front brake pads and the aforementioned work. This is the first time I've paid a cent for any work on the car. The best part? I still had all of my bolt-ons in place. JB4, DCI, downpipes, charge pipe and catch can. I wasn't able to remove my downpipes in time for service in the summer but wasn't denied warranty. This time I had a similar situation and thankfully the work was still done. Now I'll never have to remove any of it again! So far this car has had only one failure- an injector at 44k which was covered under warranty. Regular oil changes every 5k and spark plugs replaced at 60k and 90k. For the simple and easy maintenance that I have put into this car it has given me back so much and troubled me so little. I hope that I make it 100,000 more miles and that each of you does the same. Well done, BMW! Last edited by PINeely; 11-18-2011 at 07:20 PM.. |

congrats! this car is so easy to rack up miles on. i put on 4500 miles in a month and half of owning the car and i thought 15k/yr lease would be enough. luckily (and unluckily) i have a beater to drive but i miss driving my 335 so much.
