seems like if well maintained...it will last very long.....there is a guy there with over 250 000 miles on his car...that equates to over 400 000 kms

Suppose being a V8 it does'nt need to work that hard

Saw an old hilux today that I used to drive. It's on 479000 now. If the M5 fails, get a 1800 hilux motor... :mmm:

jinne, I was fortunate enough to be a passanger in Uber's brothers 525i manual. it has 425,000km's on it.. and it drives better than some new cars i've driven. SERIOUSLY SMOOTH.. not a GLITCH... its just plain awesome.... and with the power it pushes out, I still find it DAMN hard to believe its only a 525i in there...
