I bought it in 2002 slightly used with 100,000 miles. Things are starting to fall apart, but not the engine. It still runs strong and smooth even though I beat on it every day. Multiple redlines at minimum per day for over 8 years and I haven't done any internal engine work at all. I just give it fresh Pennzoil 20w-50 and a Mann filter every 3-5k. That is why when I replace it in the near future, it will be with another N/A 6 cylinder three series. My last car was an e30 325e and it also had over 300k when I sold it. I love our X, but when I think of BMW, I think of a three series with 6 cylinders.
