The engine was missing at 181K before water pump failure due to ignition coils/plugs, else it would have been fine guessing 220K as factory turbos replaced at 45K. Running great now. This is slowly being converted to my weekend race car as I have a 2017 frozen black M3 daily driver.

TO DO: tranny/differential fluid never changed, walnut blasting never done, charge pipe, PVC valve, Dinan racing coil over track suspension system, M3 suspension refresh with sway bars, rear chassis brace upgrade, JB4 computer, LSD, Dinan intake, Porsche Brembo front brakes, TBD upgraded rear brakes (love suggestions here, F30?), considering wheels VMR710 19x9.5 ET33 front with 235/35/19 front and 19x10 ET25 rear with 275/30/19, also considering installation of M3 left/right rear side panels and bumper (my body guy can get it done). Comments? Concerns?

I am driving this until I total it or 500K/miles whichever comes first. I plan on spending money, lots of it, to keep it running, it's a great platform.
you are basically what i'm aspiring to be!

I have a 2007 e92 with an N54 with 144k miles. Just about changed all the major maintenance items with the car with the exception of the the turbos (slight rattle) in the last three months: Injectors rev. 12, IS engine mounts, transmission mounts, serpentine belt and pulleys, oil pan gasket, transmission pan/fluid, OFHG, oil cooler gasket, valve cover, plugs/coils, alternator, battery, ST XTA Coilovers, and PSS tires. I think I should've just bought a new car haha.

Almost a brand new car here. Still love driving the car and hope to keep it running until 200K+.

Almost 2.5 years of ownership on my 335 and I now have 87,7xx miles but sad to say it isn’t my DD anymore. Sits in the garage about 98% of the time. I drive a boring 2013 Civic as my daily for work

Great sight of no lights or control messages on a 2007 N54
(just a dead bug on the bottom of the rpm gauge...)

198,500 on my rwd sport.

Going to be daring and drive it to Kentucky for NYE. Thought I had a leaky OFHG (which I did this spring), but when I went to change it last night the oil cooler bolt was only finger tight. The NAPA o-rings split, must not have been exactly the right size. A new set of o-rings and (yet another) serp belt will go on before the road trip. Every other seal has been done, including the RMS.

Miles are mainly from commuting to Chicago and back. Truly the perfect car for major miles.

Anyone want to buy it? It's montego blue

For the very first time in 22 years of owning a 3 series, I had a shop do it. It was the dead of winter, my garage sucks, and I was in a hurry.
