I've been logging crazy milage onto my car lately...and I'm thinking of when will be best to replace my 1995 318i before owning it get expensive....
I'm almost at 148,000 and so far for some reason I've been logging on average 700 miles per week. What's crazy is my job is only like 20 miles away from home and the city (Manhattan) I drive in most of the time is about 2 miles wide and 13 miles long!
I was planning on replacing my car when it reached around 160,000 to 170,000 miles( or in 3 to 4 years ) after I'm done with Law School but the way I'm going I may hit 160,000 by X-mas 2005.
Anyway I was curious how long an automatic E36 318i with the M42 engine can last?
...so far I've been good with my oil changes, and routine stuff, I also use higher octane fuel (93 or 94), and engage in 80% city/20% highway driving...
