I would wait until 111111, but that might be 2024.

About a month ago, I had the opportunity to capture the odo at 123, 456. Missed it by 2 miles when I checked.

I never even saw that low of a number on my E46's.

Side note, I set one up for the mileage to read 141592 with the trip 653 .5 and my mother drove the car that day for like, 5 miles and it went over. So it was either a) drive the car until 314159 miles or... yeah no.

Actually I meant to make a snarky comment about an E46 with only ONE warning light on, but in fact, they’re not that unreliable at all...

Well the warning light has been on for a while and only because I’m too lazy to add wiper fluid.

I almost missed this - was sitting in the drive through lane at Wendy’s and saw it.

Of the 110,000 miles, I have been behind the wheel for probably 109,900 of them.  At least.

That is awesome. I couldn’t keep myself out of mine when I had them, but they were both awd wagons.

Mine crossed 86k at the end of 2005. I was living in Chicago, with a 30 mile (each way) commute to the suburbs. After one nightmare commute in a blizzard, I went out and bought a new Pathfinder and dailied that mostly until 2015.

The bmw has been a sunny day car ever since, though I try to get it out a bit in the winter when there’s no snow.

Awesome. I think if I had a garage, I could have justified keeping the BMW as a good third car. But around here, you can’t really keep a car outside unless you drive it regularly, nothing good happens to it.

Keep it forever, if you can. They’re such good cars.

For some time, the car was outside in the city.  Virtually all of the damage it has is from that time frame.  Blech.
