Mine is an E60 545i born 09.2003.
155'000 km (97'000 miles)
Not that I know of.
Only had it for 6 months but looked into the service history and no major issues. I had to replace the thermostat but that's no biggie.
Full dealer history, always serviced the same place.
1) Mileage
2) Modifications if they are of a mechnical nature or possibly related to problems ( Ie chipped, remapped etc for example )
3) Problems you have experienced, or indeed LACK of problems
4) How your car has been looked after, ie do you have a full main dealer service history etc ?

Oil Change every 18-20K and no problems at 150K miles mark. I would say you are one lucky fellow!!
That's too long for an oil change for my comfort. I do it at every 7500 miles but (with some luck) I also hope to say no problems at 150K mark, right now only 41K.

Note the km's driven on one tank of diesel
Gearbox changed at 30k km due to an production error, and many CIP updates have been done under warranty. Oil change every 30k km according to the BMW service schedule. Front pads and rotors changed for the first time at 122k km's.
The car looks amazing and runs like a new one.

This is a beautiful M3! I love this car. I would love to get one in this body style as a weekend car...
Back on task: I can only hope that my gasoline engine can run as well as some of these high mileage diesels! Very impressive, thanks to all for sharing. Oh...mine only has 33k miles
