I was borrowing the 240D today when it turned over 250K miles.

Cool. I remember 250k. That was so long ago!

At the rate my wife drives this car, I probably won't live long enough to see it reach 300K.

Congrats on the successful break in period. Take care of it and you can double that. I and my son did on my 84 Euro 240D. He took it over at about 450,000 miles when he was sixteen. He wanted to see a half million miles on it before he went off to college and he made it.

Great cars!

Your son made it to College or made the car to 1M miles. It is a lot of miles to add on in 2-3 years. Congrats on either case anyway.

I'm sure I'm missing something here.... Since he couldn't have driven 550,000 miles in two years, did he wait till he was 35 to go to college?

Well, I find plenty of opportunities to laugh at myself. I left out the HALF before the million. Sorry 'bout that. I just edited the post.

We live 22 miles from the high school my kids attended, so 50,000 miles in two years was no problem. Add the extra trips to town for ball games, dates and everything else under the Sun and 50K miles goes by quick.

My wife drives this car most of the time and it normally gets less than 10k miles per year, so the next 250k is likely to take a while.

Havent you got that car of yours back yet. It is going to have to be good given the time its taking!!

Probably true, but I would have spent an additional 6 months of my life driving.

That's for sure, about 3 weeks to build the engine, and probably another week to get it installed. We also had a holiday week, so nothing got done last week.

It's supposed to be shipping to the car this week, but I haven't checked recently.
