2004 530i with a 145k , still runs strong.. it will need a new clutch soon but I think another 30k can still be used from it...
the inline six motor is the best german motor ever built.

it's great to see you owners keeping your cars for the long haul.. true enthusiasts..
does anyone know if the M5 motor ( long block ) can be mated with the manual transmission of the 530i? that is my future plan...

I bought a 2006 550is 6MT with 110K end of Sept. Got a decent deal on it due to the miles. Needs some routine maint though. Brakes and spark plugs look like they need service soon, have already bought brakes. Had a minor coolant leak a couple of weeks ago, was the o-ring on the temp sensor at bottom of rad, cost $1.37 from dealer and took 5 mins to replace. Now just over 112K, hopefully many more to go! Great to see some of you guys with the high miles, gives one hope! I've seen quite a few E39 540's with over 200K, even one locally with 325K that is running strong.

My Ride: 535d M Sport / Carbon Black Metallic / Aluminium cube / black leather sports seats / Prof. SatNav / Bluetooth.
My 535d has just passed 150k mile mark - bought with 47k miles four years ago and still makes me smile when I floor it
Looking forward to another 50k miles unless the money tree grows faster!
Replaced the alternator and battery under warranty soon after purchase. Standard maintenance since then with a few simple mods - lights, diesel swirl flaps etc.
Love it...
