4.6/4.8is owners = how many miles

[J.Belknap]

104K here.

Supercharged for 102K miles.

Leak in a valve cover gasket. Front Brembo discs could use replacing. Intending to do a semi-teardown and replace all of the high fail items in the near future.

i dont understand some of these miles posted. 25k? even 50k? on 02/03 vehicles. thats like sports cars mileage. i wish i could relate. my 4.6 is my daily and winter vehicle so im averaging about 25k a year since 07'. right now its at 113k and performs like the first day i picked it up. corners much better then some of my friends cars. keeping it up to date is all you have to worry about with higher mileage. recently just replaced alternator, all belts, left and right side valve covers gaskets, valley pan and gasket, oil seperator with all hoses, things of that nature.

I am out of the country at the moment, but.... the supercharger will be removed and refreshed to Vortech's latest revision of the V-2. The BMW dealer says that the head unit was last serviced about 40K ago.

Side note: there are a TON of E53's in the Republic of Georgia. Sadly, none with style 87 wheels.

So obviously running 6 or 8 psi does not do any harm to these engines. How is the power with the Vortech? I was thinking about doing the ESS kit.
