Congratulations all. 4k more miles to the big 100k. Does BMW do anything like Mercedes' high mileage badge?

I didn't see any official BMW high mileage club online anywhere.

Let's start a high mileage club here. Thoughts?

High mileage club sounds cool!

Of course we'd have to qualify what the term "high mileage" means. Original engine and or transmission? Then there's proving the mileage. Go on honor? How would we prove? I personally don't think we need to go that far. Could we get an icon (badge) next to our names based on the mileage obtained? 100k,150k,200k... What up!!?

Generally very happy until panoramic sunroof wouldn't close pushed it back with carving fork prong and saved a trip to have expensive replacement.
