How Many Miles Does Your Z4M Have?

Mike_Z4M · 11-14-2016, 04:34 PM

Just want to see how much these things are getting driven and who has high mileage cars (for reliability and etc sake) Post your numbers and experience, Cheers!

zurus · 11-14-2016, 04:47 PM

I dont drive my car so it's been pretty reliable so far

86Zed · 11-14-2016, 07:05 PM

Daily driven since purchase last fall, 67K and counting (250 miles a week). Wrote a few short blurbs about the cost which hasn't been terrible, nor unexpected given its age/mileage.

Lots.. I put tape over the little window so I can't see it anymore

zgood4u · 11-15-2016, 06:12 AM

116K every day driver and nothing unexpected with repairs, all are mostly minor.

KPop · 11-15-2016, 06:34 AM

Mine just turned 35k last month. I drive the car once a week (less during the winter season), so mileage ends up staying pretty low.

rockstar93 · 11-15-2016, 09:11 AM

18k miles on my roadster and 40k on the coupe. Nice to see some higher mileage cars with no major issues.

dschultz · 11-15-2016, 10:56 AM

81k. Headlight control module under CPO warranty. Power steering reservoir and hoses replaced @ about 50k. Everything else has been maintenance. Track only last 20k.

AmmarYasirA · 11-15-2016, 11:29 AM

Hit 55,555 yesterday lol. No maaaajor issues (knock on wood) but still annoying things I don't wanna deal with. Or shouldnt, at least for a BMW.

themenacedesigns · 11-15-2016, 11:41 AM

79,XXX

ton of repairs FML! Within past year 12-15 months:

Alternator & belts
DSC Module
TPS Sensors
Throttle Actuator
O2 Sensor

Then a bunch of small things tires etc

The HACK · 11-15-2016, 12:55 PM

48,xxx miles. First 2 years driven 2 times a week on a commute up to 130 miles per day. Put 15,xxx miles on the car during the first 12 months. Then the commute got cut shorter, down to ~70 miles twice a week for the next 3 years. Hit 35,000 miles by year 4. Then it got "retired" to weekend/track only, and have for the next 6 years added another 13,xxx miles.

So far, the only unexpected expenses are a couple of flat tires, and a MAF sensor. Otherwise it's been the most reliable BMW I've ever owned.

Other than wear and tear items (tires, brakes, oil, fluid etc), items replaced on a preventative measure:

VANOS bolts (had it done at the first valve adjustment)
Engine mount bolts (10.9 grade MS bolts with Nordlock)
RTAB with Turner limiters
FCAB (PowerFlex)

Upgrades:
Ground Control coil over
RacingBrake OE size rotors and 4piston front, 2piston rear calipers

Plus a slew of misc aesthetic changes
Front splitter (to be installed over winter)
OE Aero side skirts
Replaced sunglasses holder
PROBABLY a small lip spoiler and some diffuser to even out the look later in spring

Knock on wood.

23.000 miles

dazed^ · 11-15-2016, 01:26 PM

About 30.000 miles.

Good to see high mileage cars doing well, and good to see mine isn't the only garage queen.

gds52 · 11-15-2016, 08:34 PM

I just woke up the beast from its sleep.
Bought around 6 weeks ago at 9800miles now 12k ?

11,600 per year average in Atlanta as a daily driver?? You're doing good!

kaybat · 11-15-2016, 10:37 PM

25K and change.

The Hunter · 11-15-2016, 11:09 PM

63,3xx, runs like a top. Purchased new tires, ZHP shifter, floor mats, and a good wash, looks and drives like new.

SlickShift · 11-16-2016, 05:18 AM

At 83K miles. She's my part-time/weekend driver (now averaging 6K miles a year after a short DD stint). My Z's been super reliable so far (knock on wood); just preventative maintenance.

Ditto. I'm at about 47K now

Beedub · 11-16-2016, 11:17 AM

11.5k

angelr · 11-16-2016, 12:01 PM

128k

Replaced a failing alternator at 65k as it was on it's last leg. Other than that just maintenance and preventative replacement of some components that typically see a higher failure rate like TPS, MAF, Coils etc. It has never left me stranded and has always done as asked. Some method of checking and clearing codes goes a long ways towards ensuring that you can get back on the road should you have something minor or intermittent pop up.
