The mileage thread.
Well it had to be done at some point. What is the mileage/kilometers on your E30? I just rolled over to 180,000 miles last week  |

this engine will run forever. My old ride was an 85 (eta) the odometer stopped with 210,000 and I had it for another year and a half before I wrecked it and it ran very smooth. Also my dads old 86 eta had close to 300,000, he just doesn't drive it anymore
My current car has 177,800 |

Indeed they will. I'm going to rebuild it two summers from now, just because I really want a nice clean new engine.
But, if I left it stock, with teh way it feels, it would run well past 350,000 miles. These M20's are just incredible. |

One thing about M20's that helps is natural balance. All inline 6, flat 6 and V 12's have this advantage |

216,000 miles on the chassis
18,000 miles on the engine
The engine ran awesome before I rebuilt it, would have gone for a LOT longer.

So I could go with forged internals, 2.8l low compression for the turbo setup  Needed more power!
