My goal is to double the miles from when I bought it. About 256,000 miles. I'm at 178 now so 78,000 to go.

You've inspired me. Mine had 11k miles. I'll go 20x! :thumbup: 140k now. Maybe 3x? :popcorn:

I'm hoping the M57 engine variants prove as long-lived - so far that seems to be the case - 232,000kms on mine and it's still running like new. I see a few M57s with over 300,000kms on them but they tend to be beaters by that point, due to so much "deferred maint.". :(

We have 265500+km (165000+ miles) on our M57 (2010 x5 35d) so I'm right there hoping along with you. Still runs great but have been getting some recent sporadic errors relating to the SCR tank I believe. If I can't source parts reasonably, I'd hate to delete the ABC systems because I hate the diesel smell, but it is what it is.

My '05 M57TUD30 is pre-DPF and SCR, so none of that to worry about. :thumbup:

And I kinda like the smell of diesel in the mornings... better than petrol fumes from a rich-running (cold) engine... :rofl:

I plan on keeping mine till I'm rich enough to pay someone to tell me what time it is...

As for the smell of diesel? I have a 4.8iS so I've never been behind one....[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
