i'm looking at a 96 318TI with 134,000 miles. is milage on these cars something to worry about? 134 seems like a lot of miles for a highly stressed 4-banger.
thanks for any responses.

When I got mine it had 124,000 miles on it. Some things like the belts needed replacing, also the control arms. But other than that, everything else was fine (except for those windows of course). __________________ RIP

if you're worried, have a compression test done and see if there are any codes or anything stored. i have 212k on mine, still going strong. in fact, i'm looking to supercharge (need to do a compression test myself first). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I'm sitting a little over 140k and the only thing I've had to do besides maintenance is replace the thermostat and a window switch. When I bought the car it had 90k. | | | | | 04-23-2006, 02:40 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Portugal - Lisboa Posts: 205 |
If these cars are well taken care off, there is nothing to worry about. See the service records of the car. __________________ Portuguese 318ti
