Just read on the German forum that in a small village in Bavaria there is an E32 730i as taxi with 800 k km which is 500 k miles.
So don't worry how long an E32/E34 lasts.
Have asked if someone lives near there and can make some pics of the car.

There's gotta be a few E34's out there with similar mileage. Especially with all the E34 taxis and govt vehicles in Europe.

How many rads, waterpumps and control arm bushings has it been through?!?!?!:p

I remember seeing a Canadian member with high kilometers... 400k maybe... I forget who... (I know it doesn't compare!)

There's a guy who has a crappy, small used-car dealer near me.

He drives a '93 525iA with 350k miles! Bought it 4 years ago with 90k. It's in terrible shape now.

I also park next to a '90 525iA with 255k. Cirrusblau/Black, attractive car. Too bad he doesn't really care about it.

I have 307,000 miles on my 1990 525i M20, and it runs excellent! Gotta love German engineering!

... previously owned by a guy who lived in San Diego and commuted to downtown LA 6 days a week. Boy, do I need a paint job.

I'd guess mine in the 330k mile range(89 535i). don't really know for sure.
it displays 306000 exactly and hasn't counted any higher for a good six months. its in decent shape i suppose. it needs new tires and could use some control arm bushings. but body wise she is pretty much perfect. one rust spot about 1 inch in diameter. and the engine still runs GREAT, transmission hasn't left me yet. and it has never been rebuilt. i bought it with 250 on it. and put the first 66k on in about 5 mos.
