If n54s are going 200000miles plus tuned, curious to see how long a "normally" driven stock could last.

I'm at 194K. Still going strong. Salute to Efthreeoh who keeps me going. Maybe we'll all get together someday, those who have gone to 300K+, I hope to be inducted one day.
I vote for Efthreeoh to get his jacket today! |

2006 330i sport, 6 Mt 250k miles.
Valve tick since 50K Oil changed every 6-7K Coolant every 2 years Spark plugs every 50K miles M3 control arms every 60-80K BMW Performance Brakes at 107k and 214K M-sport shocks and struts at 135K Water pump and thermostat replaced at 153k no failure just replaced. Fuel pump and filter replaced at 188k no failure just replaced. #2 Coil failed at 191k replaced all 6. MAF sensor and MAF connector replaced at 248K. IAT temp failure. I drive 100 miles a day and drive hard 6k RPM shifts are not uncommon for me. Original clutch with CDV deleted at 10k I hope to make it to 350K + like Efthreeoh

1) passenger side rear window regulator (~$400) 2) inspection revealed the accessory belt tensioner had a slight "wiggle" to it. Replaced all parts with a "kit" supplied by ECS Tuning (parts ~$100, labor ~$175) (belt/tensioner/pulley) |

It's easy to get nickle and dime'd at the mechanic if you aren't able to DIY. Youtube and this forum are a great resource, start with small things if you're unsure. |

Update on my E90
OK, I'm at 175K now and here's the latest:
The window regulator was actually $400. This was parts+labor (part is about $80) done by Indy shop. I can confirm that the Akebono/Zimmerman brake parts (rear only at this time) make MUCH less dust than OEM (still on front). I will buy this brake kit for the front (from FCP Euro) when it's time. Driver's door lock regulator went out. Door will lock but will only unlock via pulling the lever. I bought the part and will have an Indy install. I did save quite a bit of money shopping for the part. Found a set (right and left side) of regulators for $75 on FCP Euro. Strangely enough, if you buy only one side the price is $230. Having the install this week (est. ~$200). |

E90 325i 165K and going strong.
I have kept up all servicing as required. I have the ticking and a sump leak but nothing major. Am only now looking to replace but I am not fond of the turbo 4 that replacements. Am inspecting a M14 F30 328i tomorrow if it don't sell tonight. |

You can easily hit 200k I think but there are a few things that will certainly fail. You are looking at $2000 in maintenance to get you there, assuming you don't use the dealer and do some work yourself.
Your VCG will definitely go but you can do that in your garage or invite a mechanic to your garage to do it. I had a guy do it for me for $350 labor and he did it well. Parts were around $350 too. I would definitely get this part, replace the solenoids and the serpentine belt. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...e-rein-chc0609 You can do the first 2 yourself for free. The belt you can also do or invite a mechanic to do it in your garage. The belt is a potential engine killer so at 75-100k that has to come out. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...t-kit-adk0022p You could also buy one of the protective braces for the crankshaft seal like below if you want to eliminate any chance of engine failure. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...waAuyzEALw_wcB Front tie rods/control arms probably will need replacement and shocks too by the time you get to 200k |

330i with 195,000 miles and Lci 328i with 143,009 miles. Both feel and drive great. Interior is very high quality and there meant to be driven in . Engine transmission on both of my e90s are smooth. My manual e90 shifts perfectly and at 195,000 miles I already ordered parts to refresh the shifter and got a BMW performance short shift kit. It feels more comfortable with ORIGINAL SPORT SUSPENSION AT THAT MILEAGE than my Bilstein B4 Equiped 328i. My 328i gets tracked and autoX every 3 months. Also it gets driven hard and sees 7000rpm daily. It is a auto but I do use the manual mode in driving situations like twisty roads or passing a car on a highway. The auto shifts perfect for traffic and day to day driving. Did the fluid change once only. Im thinking of doing it again. When its cold out and the first 5 min of driving. If i come to a stop it sometimes vibrates or and the engine rpm fluctuates. I put it in neutral and it goes away. But after it gets warmed up, it doesnt do it anymore. Been a year since it does it LOL. Still feels the same since i got it if not faster AHHAHA. I have to say im very happy with these cars and as a young lad it is the highlight of my day driving these to many places and being able to just enjoy such a perfect car.

I'll take it for a week.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
