So that's 45k N55 X1 (my wife's car...who puts around town for the most part)
~70k '08 N54 135
and sometime before 60k on our '08 N54 535/
I'm 3/3! 
If I buy these motors in the future, I think I'm leaning toward 50k replacement as preventative. Something I'd NEVER thought I'd say. |
Ugh, don't say that. I just hit 52k on my '14 35i, and It looks like a fun job to do the replacement. I want to replace my spark plugs before I consider that - and I plan on getting everything from FCPEuro for the free lifetime warranty. My next oil change, I'll be sending back the used oil so I can get a refund minus shipping (hey, it's not taking advantage if they TELL you to do it).
I think I'm getting a used Mini S in manual to put my most of my work miles on, because it's killing me.
