High mileage 08s report in!

I'm right behind you.

I think I'm at about 145k. I've switched to my suburban for more of my daily because I'm always carting around something these days.

anyone with over 150k miles ? About to hit 150K in the next few days and want to know if anyone else is in the same boat and would love to hear your experience from that point on. Thanks

173k and counting, just keep up with normal maintenance and you should be good

Nice. What are the intervals on ignition coils? I think everything but that has been serviced. I don't think mine has been changed out even under the previous owners possession. I'm also still on the original clutch No signs of slipping at all.

I am also on my factory clutch. I don't see coils as a maintenance item, I just replace them as they go typically. Fortunately, all my coils are original and haven't had any issues with them. Plugs on the other hand have been changed every 30k miles, these cars love a new set of plugs. Recently changed my trans and diff fluid because unlike BMW I don't believe in "life-time fluid".

Agreed, 'lifetime' fluid is BS!
And yea coils aren't a maintenance item.

Someone early on in this thread got to 200k miles, and in an insanely fast time!

Keep a scanner and a spare coil, there isn't a reason to replace them. They don't suffer from worse performance, they just die randomly and the whole engine goes out of balance.

At 125k miles now. Will be doing a major service this winter. I was sitting at a red light yesterday and was marveling at how quiet the car was at idle. No shaking, rattling, or anything like that. Granted, when the light turned green the AA exhaust was quite loud. I love this car

AA exhaust?

Ah ok, not AA the breakdown recovery people then

and here it is:

This thread is so encouraging as someone with a 2011 with 95k miles.

Yeah intercooled. Between 220 - 223 with the AC on.

New guy here. Just picked up an 08 E92 DCT in Interlagos Blue. Just cracked the 126k mile mark. It's only been a few weeks, but super smooth and no issues so far.

One of my favourite colours! Got any pics?

Here's a couple. The ZCP wheels came with the car, but had been sandblasted and were not refinished. That was my first order of business!

Already had my first track day in stock form, which will also be my last track day in stock form

Im at 166k (albeit I'm a 2010). But my OG bearings lasted to 162k and changed when I purchased. This is now a full time track car. 1st owner was 0-20k next owner was 20k-162k miles, with roughly 100 track events on it.

I've done 6 track days in the last year, on the new ACL mixed bearings and the oil report just came back spotless.

2011 - just hit 100k last week.

purchased the car 4 years ago with 30k on clock. daily driver/only car for the past 4 years.

snow tires keep her rolling all winter long

Post more pics! Have the same spec (minus DCT) and might be picking up a set of ZCP wheels soon.

Gonna cross 150k driving to cars & coffee this weekend, can't wait!
