The ride turned 100K yesterday morning, still runs like a champ!!

inTgr8r · 10-01-2015, 09:45 AM

great stuff!

pokeybritches · 10-01-2015, 11:55 AM

I've hit 100k in two Z's. The first was my non-M, which has only required a few things beyond regular oil changes, and nearly everything could be considered standard maintenance:

- Belts
- Starter
- Fluids
- Battery
- FCABs
- Window Regulator
- Shift Knob
- Windshield
- Alignment
- Spark Plugs
- Valve Cover Gasket
- HID Bulb
- Both Side Mirrors (auto-dimming fluid leaks)
- Oil Filter Housing Gasket
- Dampers

The M has required a little more:
- HID Bulbs
- Fluid Changes
- Brake Duct
- Battery (x3)
- Steering Wheel Trim
- Shift Knob + Light
- Alignment
- Valve Adjustment
- Spark Plugs
- Rear View Mirror
- Vanos Rebuild
- Rod Bearing
- Motor Mounts
- Alternator (+ Reprogramming DME After Failure)
- Fuel Pump / Filter
- Weather Stripping

Sure am glad to see this. My M Coupe hit 100K last week. It is my daily driver, owned it since 30K, am feeling kind of guilty but I love this car!

StickMon · 10-12-2015, 03:12 PM

Welcome to the club!
I just hit 127k last week.

Vanne · 10-12-2015, 04:15 PM

Wow, this is great ;-) congrats everyone..

bamarider · 10-13-2015, 06:37 PM

Just bought an 04 with 112k, so hoping to get another 100k out of it.

Sterling Roadster · 10-13-2015, 06:46 PM

140,000 miles on mine!

krusty · 10-17-2015, 12:26 PM

Almost 12K miles on mine

I look forward to joining the club in around 2075.

Vanne · 10-17-2015, 11:49 PM

Haha lol Krusty

dreamingat30fps · 10-18-2015, 11:05 AM

Glad to see all the 100k cars. I'm at 72k right now and that has always been a concern for me since I would like to keep the car forever but in the back of my head I'm always thinking how long she will last.

pal · 10-28-2015, 11:25 PM

I hit 90K earlier this year on the way back from VIR. It's been a fun 8 years and the car is still interesting to me.

Steenos · 11-03-2015, 08:12 PM

Great thread. I'm at 84k. Bought it with 41k two years ago. Daily driving and just driving for fun. An all around great car. I bought the car to drive not to keep the miles off! Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys driving their cars.

1Joel1 · 11-05-2015, 01:33 PM

Just hit 92K so am on my way.

Nice to see the S54 is doing well for everyone!

misterawa · 11-20-2015, 03:42 PM

My 03 Z4 hit 100K early last year. I'm currently at 101, 961 and it runs like a champ, besides the low mpg (gas guzzler for some reason). I just change the oil and recently changed spark plugs. Driver seat was jacked up (rips and tears) and plastic parts (interior) are starting to break. Other than that, solid vehicle!!!

ljkiter · 02-08-2016, 02:55 PM

I'm at 140k.
Latest issues besides having to replace waterpump, valve cover gasket, ac repair, bushings, 2 broken exterior door handles, emblem replacements, new rims (old ones cracked) and tires, broken convertible top (i can do it by hand..), broken passenger window regulator, dry rotted lower intake boot, new headlight bulb, SRS airbag light, windshield weather stripping, rear 3rd light broken, one more... the CVV line replacements.. jeez.. I've put a lot of work into this.
Edit+ Had to change starter, battery, alternator, and inner roof lining came off.
suspension bushings had to be replaced too
This is a great list for anyone buying a new z4 (e85) to check. I'll actually use it for my next purchase.

I've never gotten more than 20mpg, but i'm always flooring it most places since its a 2.5 lol. I just found that my lower intake boot has dry rotted... check that since it could effect mileage.

I'm at 244k on my 2003 2.5 Z4.

It is a DD for me and still going strong. Believe it or not I also still have the original clutch. I keep wondering how long it will last

Wow, 244K on a clutch is amazing. You must be a smooth operator.

That is some mighty fine footwork.
You must be an excellent dancer.

I got about 170k out of my MR2's clutch, and I thought that was good.
I did tend to drag it on downshifts to throw some stop bias to the rear.
This was before the days of ABS.
