wow, congrats. Wait another 20 years and I can also celebrate with my "daily driver" E32 750iL 11/1988. Now 148.000 km = approx. 93 k miles.

Mostly city traffic in Tokyo, but by hours spent on the car I probably are even with you, because of the low average speed to get to that kms :D

Quality! I'm not sure mine's going to make it there these days I'm on 156,000miles now - it's going through a rough patch though! Let us know when you hit the 1/4 of a million!

Nice work! I have a 94 530 that to date has 224,000 miles. I think I can reach a quarter mill by the end of the year. Original nikasil. Unbelievable, no? Still looks sharp, too. (maybe not as sharp as yours!)

congrats,
Nate

P.S. That must be your photo in BavAuto. Again, Nice work.
