Seen on my 1993 740il this morning:
E46 is catching up, too - just turned 160k this past week. Who's got more than me? Pix or fale.

it's on the cusp of a) cooling system failure or b) trans failure. good luck!

Yeah, I hear you! The engine and transmission were already both replaced less than 100k ago, so they're not quite that old. And the radiator was done about 50k ago, too. I'm far more worried about the suspension, actually. It's totally shot.

I've driven enough 80s BMW iron past 300k that I can't be bothered to take pictures. I admit that 200k on that autotragic trans is a minor miracle.

Turning it into an E32 LMP car is pretty easy with a Sawzall and a Saturday afternoon.

If the ED persists for more than 4 hours, bring the car to a techician immediately.
