I think it looks better upside-down!

In the April issue of Roundel somebody sent pic of their odo reading 123456 and 789 in trip meter or the other way around.

me too. i just turned 90k.

i hit 90K last week...currently at 90168:angryfire

I'm chasing you down with about 88k.

Ha!! I see your 90k and raise you 20.. I'm at 110k.

I'll be there by the end of the year. :saad:

I thought you meant posts, not miles.

I just hit 4900 :nanana:

LOL Nahhh...I am getting close though!

4900 = :slap:

Im at 94k and I put 36k of that in 14 months.

My Merc sprinter is 1395 short of 300k and still going strong....

SkippyBB, you win for most unusual user name.

:bustingup

did you drive all 90k?

I'm verrrryy close at 11,000 :rofl:

:flame: Your X is not even broken in yet!

97K this week, bought my 01' CPO with 26K in 03'.

Im not to far behind with 87k and running strong....

Just hit 98,000 miles Sunday night. That's 8,000 in 4 months. :mad:

I said in post 7 that I'll be at 100k by the end of the year. Looks like I'll be there by mid-October. :saad:

P.S. It still looks better upside-down!

yikes! thats about $2k in gas in 2 months!! Thats why I have my 4.8is that I baby, and a 06 Prius that I just beat the living snot out of...34k miles this year alone...Difference is I've only spent $2700 to drive all of that:) Lol

Four months, not two.

I'll be turning 10,000 in a few weeks :takecover

Make sure you take a picture when the odometer turns

Oops, my bad...still, thats a pretty penny...

Damn, and I thought I drove a lot.....

LOL I will. I also have another one planned before that. ;)

Michelle, Remember to reset your trip meter at 98333 to zeros...and watch for the trip meter to show 432 and the odo will show 98765 at that time followed by the trip meter's 432.1 and pull over and take a cool countdown pic....then post here and also send to Roundel for publishing. They love those pics.:thumbup:

probably mine too mich..:bmw:

Am at 87k & change, so I should catchup with you next week when I travel back to SC :D - are you going to do the 90K checkup or wait until 100K when the spark plugs & tuneup are due?

Hey, where y'all at??? Hurry and catch up!!!!:D

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f8...s/HPIM0122.jpg

LOL Yup. That's the pic I was talking about above. :nanana: I'll hit 98333 tomorrow. :thumbup:

i already change my spark plugs at 95k along with brake rotors and pads.:thumbup:

here's mine LeMansX5. where's yours michelle?

cool numbers....:thumbup:

:wow: Great pic!:thumbup: Send pic to Roundel mag.

tnx LeMansX5. yup i will.

Michelle had the epic fail. :saad:

A few weeks ago, when the odometer hit 0987333, I reset the tripometer. When I parked the car a week later, I was 10 miles away from the picture. I Mapquested a shopping center along my commute and it said it was 9.5 miles away. Perfect, right?!

It turns out that Mapquest was wrong, and the shopping center is 11 miles away. So, as I'm driving and realize that I'm going to hit 098765 432.1 during my drive, I quickly get out my camera and try to snap the picture while driving on the windy one-lane road.

Normally, it wouldn't have turned out too bad. Except for the fact that it was pitch dark outside and I keep my dash at the lowest dimmer setting! UGH! Why didn't I remember to brighten the dash? I can barely see the odometer reading in the picture.

I had some photoshoppers try to fix it:

So much for sending the picture into Roundel. :saad:

I'll be hitting 100,000 by the weekend. Hopefully I won't fail again.

Nice pix, Franc!

Michelle,

My '05 X5 (just bought it) has 50,100. So I've a ways to go. BUT....

My '00 Yukon that I bought new in 2000 has 161,000 miles. Here's what I've done to it since new:

Water pump at 125,000 miles - $400
Fuel pump at 140,000 miles - $500
GM Goodwrench trans at 145,000 miles (ouch) - $2200 (emp discount)
Tires at 60,000 and 120,000 miles
Still has original brakes at 161,000 miles (unbelieveable)
BG Fuel injection service every 18 months, $100 per service

That's it. 161,000 miles. Rattle, squeak free. Doesn't burn oil, doesn't drip oil. Looks and runs damn near as good as the day I drove it off the lot.

I'm hoping I'm as lucky with my X5 (but I'm not counting on it)....sigh.

My 15 year old daughter will be driving my Yukon, so at least it'll still be in the family :)

Nothing but bliss after 121,800 miles for me. I just put new tires and wheels on and prepared my baby for another couple years of luv.

Cool. Any major service since you bought it; or just normal oil changes and stuff like that?

As luck would have it, I went to get on the freeway last night and hit the accelerator only to have a huge hesitation. It almost felt like the car stalled. SES light came on. I had the codes read at Autozone and it pointed to mass air flow sensor. Nothing in stock and didn't want to shell out $300 so I took a bit of alcohol and cleaned the existing one and perfecto... no SES light.

121800 miles today, it was a CPO I purchased with 50,000.

I had the radiator res. replaced at 80,000. Two window actuators and brakes/rotors @ 95. Valve cover gaskets at 115K.

Other than that... just change the oil.

Cross my fingers and hope no lights come on tonight on my way home.:thumbup:

oooo
you guys really like those miles dont ya! :)

im at 87k and gonna try to hit 88K something by the end of this week :)

:hijack:

Just about to Hit 60K just barely over two years of ownership.

89k :thumbup:

Today it happened.

Danica is all grownst up. :saad:

Congratulations! They grow up so fast....:bawling:

:thumbup:

I'd have used it as a good excuse to clean the injectors and have 100 MPH at 100K :nanana:

That flies with the MD staties, right? ;)

:popcorn:
but she still gots a great set of tips!
:p:

LOL There was too much traffic to go 100mph @ 100k.

:rofl: She sure does!

After the epic fail in post #36, I will hopefully get the next one right.

I'm closing in on the 123,456 789.0 photo.

Just to double check, I'll be reseting my tripometer at 122,667.... right???

i have 130k no major repairs to date...............

Awesome, congrats!

Ours has only 52k at the moment but we'll do 15-20k per year and catch up quick! Planning to keep our 2006 for many years to come and well past 100k. She's CPO'd til mid-2012 so we've got some good covergae still for the little issues that pop up.

Anyway, less the epic failure (which I think is quite legible and could even fly in Roundel....well done!) thanks for posting the images and you're on your way to 123456 789!:thumbup:

:thumbup:

YA need to do some more driving ... LOL
Look who just turn 160k...10k miles per 5 months.

LOL You guys are over a year late for the "congrats." Look at post #52. I bumped this thread to ask a question.

HA!

Sorry, I'm new here (kinda)!

Congrats anyway on your rapid approach to 123456.

Also, you're math from post #52 (copied below) seems right to me. Good luck!

After the epic fail in post #36, I will hopefully get the next one right.

HAHAHA! You need to use the QUOTE feature! :sorry: :hug: :luv:

Hey! Got the famous shot tonight!!

Congrats!!!!! :)

Next stop: 100000 000.0

I got 260 000km, no problems since 220 000, im one of the lucky ones?

Welp... I failed miserable.

Yesterday was the day to reset my tripometer at the 122,667 mark. As I was driving home from work, I realized it was at 122,680. :banghead:

:loser: :saad:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

last night i believed I had 79,000miles. i get in thte x today and it says 89740. where does all the miles go

Here's my most recent milestone!

Holy DeLorean Doc Brown!

Naz's '04 X5 has more miles than our '03 X5. :lmao: We've just crept past 80k.

It's a rough feeling Andrew. That damn drive from Cornell university. Just wait till u start driving to and from college!

But on the other hand, I get comments that my X5 looks new. Someone actually asked me if it was a 2010 model!
