Update: 126K mi, charge pipe had small cracks around diverters; replaced belt and pulley(s) mostly maintenance, but upon inspection, one of them was starting to roll rough. Carbon cleaned valves.

I find it funny how many people say they are scared to take their 1er on a road trip, 3 weeks ago I went on a 1400 mile road trip in my 135i (mods in sig) original water pump and I am sitting just shy of 76k miles now. Set the cruise at 80mph most of the way (90mph for a nice long stretch) windows down and just cruised and still averaged 27mpg for the whole trip (worst tank was 25mpg). Very comfortable road trip car and I trust it completely, it has also made several trips from Iowa to Minneapolis and back without worry. Love this car, first newer BMW I have owned, but certainly not the last!

31,000 miles.
Just doesn't get driven now that the 911 is in the fleet. As a heads up, at least on the '06-'07 E9x 330i, the oil interval sensor and electronic dipstick stops working at 186k. Curious if that happens to us.

And yeah, I've been canning it at every opportunity, while squeaking in some upgrades here and there.

Few shots from when I picked it up. I've done a ton since then and haven't had much time for photos. Since purchasing: -Oil Change -Trans/diff fluid change -Adjusted all the valves -New valve cover gaskets -Deleted half of the AC components -New spark plugs -New seatbelts in red -Momo Protipo wheel -Headlight relay(takes load off the stalk switch) -New shifter bushings from the trans to the shift lever -Adjust shift linkage -Replaced '75 Turbo tail with a proper 3.2 Carrera tail -Replaced hood struts -Replaced the door panels with RS America door panels/pulls -Rebuilt window regulators -Installed new vapor barriers in the doors -Restored the dashboard -Deleted the radio and associated wiring -Replaced tail light lenses/gaskets -Added ram air scoop for the front oil cooler -Redyed black trim I have a bunch of other items on hand to keep getting it up to my standards, which I try to do at least one of per week. I'm most looking forward to the custom order set of Recaros that should be coming in the next month or two.
