Ghost-Flame is on a distinguished road
99,200 miles on my '02 3.0. So far, I had the oil seperator freeze up and blow the valve cover gasket very messy-- at 82,000 miles.

I changed the trans fluid to m1 at 96,000 miles... made a big difference in the shifting.

I have some oil consumption 1 qt in 2,000 miles. Probably some blow by, I'm afraid to change the weight of the oil on this engine since BMW is so strict about oil weights and brands. I'm using M1 0w-40 at 7500 oci.

The car is awesome, I hope to keep it to 200,000 miles or 6 more years.
