Did one preventive intake valve cleaning thus far

Had a bad spark plug during a change but that's more of a parts problem

I think that's about it. I'm pretty anal about the car so I'm hoping to make it last another 150k

No mods?
What about oil seals, how are they holding up?

Mods:

JB4
BMS downpipe
Berk street exhaust
BMS dual cone intake

I'm starting to notice some oil on the charge pipe. I'm going to look into it in the next few weeks.

Pelicanglider · 01-20-2014, 09:32 PM

Total miles 93K. Two window regulators, left at 50K, right at 75K. I love this car!

Oh yeah - and a top because the rear window seal let go.

Billup · 01-21-2014, 06:20 AM

'08 128i
78,000 miles
Basic maint., Coils, plugs, VVT sensor w/ valve cover gasket.

That's basically it. Love the car, hoping it will be around as long as my old Rsx.

Jack.S · 01-21-2014, 01:13 PM

2010 135i vert 32K miles

valve cover gasket at 22K, radio

Glad to see so many 135i's with high millage and minimal issues!

prcsa77 · 03-07-2014, 02:12 AM

'09 135i, curently at 113,000mi. Purchased used at 75k, fuel pump(s)/injectors once relplaced under waranty (can't find milage, done during previous ownership). AC blower & recharge and oil cooler gasket replaced out of warranty in between, thermostat failed at 108k mi. I replaced w/water pump at the same time. Currently "Reduced Power" light has come on a few times while loading engine at altitude (>5k' + wot or less, in 4th gear @ 2-2.5k RPM) without SES. Probably fuel pump(s)/injectors are the culprits. I can't remember what series injectors used for waranty replacement. As far as the HPFP, I do remember though, it was the "newest number" available at the time. I was about to do the valve cleaning but I'll wait until I have the "Reduced Power" issue solved.

Fairly certain that is normal since you do not have an oil-catch can.

stormzusmc · 03-07-2014, 11:36 AM

08 FBO 135i 89k
HPFP and Injectors at 54k under warranty.
HPFP at 83k under warranty - again.
Basic maintainence - brakes, plugs, oil, etc.

sparky1_2007 · 03-07-2014, 11:54 AM

08 135i - 57k miles as of today.
bought car with 55k miles on it and had a Crank position sensor go out within 1k of owning the car - probably a fluke, but oh well. replaced it myself and called it a day.

TUN3D · 03-07-2014, 03:13 PM

I was starting to think that. I might get one now seeing as how I'm going to drive this car into the ground. Thanks!

118K miles.
No additional repAirs.

Pkaia524 · 04-25-2014, 08:20 PM

Now at 122,500

Preventive maintenance: water pump/tstat/hoses/serpentine belt @ 120,500
Repairs: belt tensioner & 120,500; frozen RF caliper @ 121,800

prcsa77 · 04-26-2014, 06:15 AM

Update: Now at 117k miles, the reduced engine light was due to cracked vacuum lines.

That's pretty impressive, 118K miles without any additional work.

Impervious · 04-26-2014, 02:35 PM

59,600 miles on my 08 135i now and up to this point it has only received basic maintenance (oil changes, tires, etc.). It has been nothing but a joy to drive. However, I noticed some fluid spots beneath the car and the mechatronic sealing sleeve failed, spilling transmission fluid onto the pavement. Service guy said the repair typically runs 750 but he did it for 560. Given what others have been quoted for this service on 1addicts, it seems like a good deal. Can't complain about the car though, it has been solid.

shah269 · 04-28-2014, 02:38 PM

60k miles CPO (thank god!)
Fuel pump....at 30k miles.
Injectors
Valve cover gasket
Rear Main Seal....oh joy that was scarry to think about!

FIRST1 · 04-28-2014, 03:24 PM

What exactly qualifies as "high-mileage" on these cars?

Pkaia524 · 04-29-2014, 12:08 PM

100K plus? Maybe a minimum of 20K/year for a minimum of 4 years. But with today's engineering is anything under 100K really considered high mileage?

Pkaia524 · 04-29-2014, 12:11 PM

That's 100,000 miles, not kilometers.

mindomission · 05-20-2014, 08:03 AM
