The 100k club

[hoshy]

So who's rocking over 100k?

Mine rolled over a few months back and apart from not having the smoothest of changes (since the day I bought it at @81k) I've had no problems and all touch wood seems well.

Just thought I'd pull together a thread as it will be interesting to monitor reliability.

This makes me feel very guilty. Mines only on 49k and havent driven her for 6 months (or seen her) Planning to sort this with a trip to the IOM early June.

Good for you, nice to see the older ones wearing the 100k+ badge with pride!

p.s When have changes EVER been smooth in a CSL? :-D

Sir, you need to start putting some miles on that thing! Are you coming to Munich?

I know :banghead: I wanted to and had my name down but work commitments overseas have got in the way unfortunately.

Perhaps you're right but I've only ever driven one other - it was not much different - a bit less slack in the output shaft I think. I'm hoping a few tweaks like decent oil will improve matter and saw some thread about clutch actuators and release bearing sleeves that might improve things too... Would love to have a go in a really low miler to see what they could be like at their very best.

My last E36 M3 Evo had over 160k miles on it - was still going strong when I sold it - dyno around that mileage still showed bang on 316bhp averaged over 5 runs. (for all the dyno haters, I'm not willy waving or saying the engine really had exactly 316bhp - just that if a dyno shows the factory figure after 160k miles, you don't have a problem)

Have yet to dyno the CSL.

Shame! but, I guess it'll still be there when you're back, and it's only going up in value

[shimmy]

Not quite there.....but nearly.

Mine's about 67k, bought at 65k. Took a photo of the odometer at 66666, coincidentally happened on my drive!

100K?

will the may trip tip you over shimmy?

[outnumbered]

will the may trip tip you over shimmy?

Shimmy's master plan is to pull out of the May trip at the last minute, and get the value of his car increased by 2000 miles relative to the rest of us :bigcry:

I did that too! Wierd ! ! !

Thought it was just me. We're out there!

I wonder how many will sell their CSL's after the Munich trip

Depends if it gets a haircut before or after Munich:whistle:

Congrats :beer: Good to know they don't self distract @ exactly 100 000 miles, like some would have us believe :wink: :hahaha:
100K miles is still average mileage for a 10 year old car. Mines some 13 000 miles away from that magic number :smokin:
