Thought I'd start a thread on the longevity of these units. It might be good too see exactly who has had any issues and at what miles.

Mine is a 525D Auto 2007 LCI, 10,000 miles 525d (197) and no failures.

Anyone else care to join in? If so, just list hat model, year, miles so far and whether any engine components have failed (Turbo, Manifold, Swirlflaps, MAF etc and at what miles).

54 530d se 'SPORT'

Just shy of 100k miles, no engine component failures to date , good for another 100k i hope !

80k here and all good so far :)

Mine only has 12.5k on it but no problems here, touch wood.

530d Auto (March 2006) 91,563 miles - engine has never missed a beat! No failures of any sort with the engine or chassis. iDrive, now that's a different storey.................

(Also, front discs and pads are still orignial!)

Use, but don't abuse :)

4/2004 530d 94000km no problems.

Mine is a 2007 (April) 525d M-Sport LCI (197ps 3.0d) with Manual gearbox and has covered 35k miles with no engine failures.

Only problem I have had was with iDrive freezing when car was 3 months old, which required replacement CCC and recoding.

05 535d 21k nothing yet

42k troublefree miles. (Apart from my reversing mishap :doh:)

Absolutely love it! :dance:

2008 520D M-Sport LCI (177bhp) - two months old now and no engine problems yet.
