Hello all, new here. Thinkin about buying my wife a 95-97 max, just wondering how many miles you all are getting out of these (200k, 100k)? Also what type of maitenance a year. Just bought a 325is and want to keep it as nice as possible, so this would be a daily driver

 

203k miles so far, no major failures (mostly just sensors here and there).

 

the max is just as nice as the 325is, another BMW freak

 

141k miles running strong.

 

im at 83k, and i dont blame you for keeping the BMW nice... I would too! What year 325is?

 

96k.....blew my motor up (human error)

 

It is 1 of 150 cars made in 94 (M-Tech package) as a test bed for the 95 m3. So it is a bit rare, hence wanting to keep it nice and keep the miles down.

And thanks all for the info, it is coming down to maxima or sc300.

Nice looking car maxima99

 

my car has about 243000 and it still runs like a champ..just regularly checking the fluids and topping everything of when you are supposed to and they will last a long time

 

your going to hate your wife, since she'll have more power than your car will. a 328i will be the maxima's equal.

 

228k and still running good. 5 spd transmission changed though at 196k. (probally my fault in high school years driving like a nut case)

Yeah, I know about the power, but my car has a 3.15 limited slip which helps quite a bit. It doesn't matter, I love anything with four wheels and will fix up the maxima also.

 

You've got a true collector's item...Nice pick. I'm sure it handles like a monster...

 

W/ proper maintenance & TLC, you can see well over 200K on a Max. These motors are one of the best for the $$

Congrats on the 325is

 

I'm at 201K and still going strong. I owned a Sentra before that and also never had a single problem. Very reliable! I am happy to say that I am not one of those people stranded along side the road. No major repairs except for the self-induced. I am in need of changing the knock sensor and motor blower resistor of which I will be doing this month. I also changed a ball-joint out last year around this time.

Enjoy the ride!

 

81K.. no major repairs but recently had alot of sensors.. but I've never been left stranded
