155K and runs like new. Same noise level, power, gas mileage, smoothness, and handling. However, it ('01 320) has required more repairs than the last 10 new cars I had .......combined. Had I known it would take this much work to keep it up I would not have bought it. I love the way it drives, so I keep it.

I'm at 117k now.

What I'd worry about:
Differential (had mine done last year - not cheap)
Central display in cluster (will have mine fixed when it's warm enough to make it disappear)
Electronic gremlins (modules, fuel sensor, other various items)
Panorama sunroof (many and varied)
Oil leaks
Supercharger rebuild
Armrest, cupholder self-destructing

I'm surprised I'm still on my original clutch, as I abuse the car pretty much


And, of course, boredom from driving the same car for too many years

How much do u spend for supercharger rebuild?

We have central display in cluster fixed after warranty expired. however, dealer gave it free of charge

I am worry about differential more now cuz my bro abuse the car always......I might need to have him flush differential oil first.

Haven't rebuilt my s/c yet, thankfully. c230sportcoupe has - he did a thread on it.

You're lucky about the display - it's gonna cost me around $250 to get it done, it looks like.

I got my S/C rebuilt and ported for $750. Steigeimer was having a sale. I don't know what a simple rebuild would be. I know when I took off my S/C at some 100,000 miles, it was pristine.

wow, Supercharger has 150,000 miles life? That surprised me. I thought it has only 100,000 miles. I think I will ask my bro to check his supercharger soon with dealer since he still has warranty cover to 100,000 miles....

I downloaded the form, but never went about getting it. Too lazy. I'm waiting for my 225k award.
