But I thought BMW’s were unreliable?

Welcome to the club. I’ve got a bit over 215k on my 03 Odyssey. Full disclosure: it’s on its second engine and transmission.

Cue CEL in 3, 2, 1....

Kidding of course, that is great.  I've got well over 200k in my E28.  Admittedly I bought it with 272k on the odo and it doesn't work.  That is on the list after new diff, euro bumpers, headers, new exhaust, various rust spots....

255k on the Voyager.

The trans toasted at 205k leading to the drivetrain swap. Then insanity led to 2 more swaps.

The van’s original engine is still going strong in the car though.

Does that mean the Voyager is more reliable than a Honda?

I had 205k before my trans started slipping, which led to the motor swap.

I put over 200k on my 2001 325xi wagon, it never let me down once. My next one I got with ~120k and sold with ~180k, same deal. Still fantastic to drive, took it on a ~600 mile road trip right before selling it.

Trans was right around 200k. Engine was a few over  100k. It overheated and blew the head gasket, possibly because of a porous block. Better to replace with a donor motor than tear the original one apart and put it back together.

Nice! Not sure if I’ll get there in my M3. Has 125k now, but I’m only putting like 5k on it a year now.
