I am convinced there are more high mileage cars than this, on the e28 forum alone, I know of a few that are up there:
From some users there: "My 535i had a head gasket change at 425k miles. Right now it has 483k and is still my daily driver." 2/2011 |

Seems like the E28's are probably one of the more durable models out there... I know many people on the E28 forums had to retire their cars (still running good) because of rust.. What a shame!

Back in the 90's I was looking at used E21 3 series - Several of them had over 500,000km and I passed them over due to that. About 25,000km per year isn't unusual in this country.

Awesome.
Anything M30 powered will outlast your children if you do the routine maintenance. Why E28's are so good is because there are not that old to become rusty (E12's are) and also they are not that new to have too much electronic nonsense. My father's original E28 535i is still running strong. Last time i checked it had 280,000 kms on the clock. Original headgasket, original bottom end, original timing chain, on the 3rd clutch but otherwise original transmission etc... The only part changed recently that i'm aware of is the rear subframe bushings (it was a b*tch) which i changed with poly bushings. |

Let the Europeans loose in this thread and you'll see high mileage cars all over the place. My boss just sold his Volvo S60 w/ 350K on the clock. Still ran great.
