200K

Anyone else reach 200k on their 135i?

thibb001 · 02-28-2020, 12:50 PM

Not yet, but i just hit 150k last weekend!

Josh-PA · 02-28-2020, 01:38 PM

108k myself on a 2011 135 vert.

Did you have any issues with it getting to 200k? What's the warning triangle for?

I've done 2 water pumps, a couple of coolant hoses, OFHG, Oil Filter Housing Cap (with the broken plunger that properly diverts oil pressure to the Vanos Solenoids, and a charge pipe beyond scheduled maintenance items.

Nice whats the service life been like for you?

zx10guy · 02-28-2020, 02:04 PM

Not yet. But was on target to get there sooner rather than later. I currently have 97,400 miles on my 2013 135i. In 2018, I had put on 15k miles in 6 months on the car due to certain issues. Between those issues for the most part being resolved and me getting a daily beater, I've curtailed the number of miles I've put on the 1. Trying to stretch things out to see if I can get one last scheduled maintenance service done for free on my car before the extended factory maintenance plan expires.

Yeah, does anyone know what the little triangle warning is? I have that when starting the car then it just goes away.

Btw, I hope I can see 200k on my car someday.

Just under 50,000km on my 2008 e88 135i, but then again I only just bought it about 8 months ago.

Sadly already had a water pump die and previous owner had fuel pump changed and an injector (yes only one injector out of six).

Car is currently off the road pending a new coil pack arriving.

Sometimes I wonder if I have the lowest mileage 135i?

I think the warning triangle is for a headlight code I have. The lights appear to be working, but I'll have it checked out. The biggest fix was replacing the turbos at about 170k. The HPFP was swapped under warranty. The water pump went around 120k. Hopefully I'm good for another year or 2. I've been warned that the transmission could eventually go and that will can be costly. About to order new summer tires.

What kind of symptoms (if any) does the transmission have?

I love my DCT...except when driving in rush hour traffic. I do wonder about the DCT reliability/cost of replacement though.

I have a hunch driving 200k on a single Bimmer is more than 95% of a BMW (or any car) owner will experience.

Kudos on reaching that milestone, sir. Keep us updated on how the mileage progresses.

His garage list shows it being a 2008 which means it doesn't have a DCT but the ZF 6 speed slush box.

True. I could have worded my post more clearly. Sorry about that.

While I was relating our E82s, I have an E92 w/(N51 w/automatic) which currently has 134,000 miles. I hope to use his experiences as relative data points for my E92.

I’m at 173k with all the popular mods done on my 09. I beat on this car so hard. #theultimatedrivingmachine for sure.

Eyeman · 03-01-2020, 09:32 AM

With so many of us full bolt on modded since way back, it will be interesting to see what issues we run into. I'm at 109k. I had tons of fuel pump issues early on, none in a long time. The water pump to my turbos went suddenly at 80k? My drivers side window went crazy once. I can't think of any other issues. My car has dyno'd 400ish WHp since way back but I very rarely drive it hard. I was kinda hoping my turbos would start rattling and "make me" go up to 500WHp..lol.
