I really love those kind of stories. Seeing someone who actually uses these cars everyday is absolutely amazing 👍. And futhermore it shows, that regular maintenance is the key. If you keep everything tidy even a car like the E92 M3 can be just as reliable as any other vehicle.

You have got to be joking. These cars, and I mean BMW's, are built to fail in so many little, expensive ways. I have it from the mouths of the engineers themselves. I even spoke with an engineer at ZF (who was kind enough to send me a repair manual for a transmission I had no hope of fixing myself) and he told me they can almost exactly pinpoint when things will fail. This was due to the fact that they did keep failing at an alarming rate and cost a fortune to fix when I wasn't being outright swindled by dealerships actually CAUSING issues. I have dozens of stories. I owned twelve BMW's, from the 1 series up to two M cars, E60 M5 and E36 M3 Evo II Convertible. All of them were unreliable rot boxes. I have also owned more than 12 Alfa Romeo's. Guess which I drive now and don't leave me stranded?

Almost been to the moon which is 234,000 miles away Gowan lad my ls400 got 1,100,000 miles and counting, regular on time maintenance and regular scheduled periodic inspections are the key just like aircraft have and other complex machines, milage is just a number

My E92 has 127k and feels as tight as the low mileage ones I looked at. Great chassis and is aging beautifully cosmetically.

It's inspiring to see Tony's M3, mine being at 104k miles right now, I want to be like Tony when older, keep this car running for as long as I can! Maintenance is everything

Recently sold mine at 160k. Also still on the original clutch despite track use/European tours etc. I had the rod bearings done and they were absolutely fine. Internet scaremongering it seems. These are great for miles,itll forever be a mystery to me why people get so hung up on mileage.

Mileage is irrelevant. Maintenance is the most important. Personally I'd rather buy a 100k with a record of work than a 50k with some oil change stamps. At 100k all the bits that are gonna fail will have already failed and been fixed. At 50k it's gonna cost you.

My first car was a Honda accord with a manual transmission a 240,000 miles on the clock. Still ran like a champ.

Had 2 E92s. One of the greatest cars ever built. What a machine.

This is cool, a proper owner. Gives me faith in mine at just shy of 90k! Great video.

Good maintenance and serviced regularly, and using the same dealership from day 1 is smart move as he's built up that relationship and most importantly the trust in mechanics who know the car inside out by now. And like most vehicles if they not abused or thrashed within a inch of it's life then regularly find they will last donkeys years. doubt it's ever been bounced off the limiter or the brakes stamped on and glowing😮, I'd happily buy this m3👍

My 2009 E90 M3 has 170k miles on it and this video made me so damn excited for the future of my car! Due diligence is absolute key on these cars. Treat it right and it will treat you right.

The fact that this is on the original clutch, to me, shows how a car can last when it's treated right. Great bloke & story!

crazy how perfect the interior looks still.

My same experience with my 2008 BMW E93. The alternator and battery went out after 15 years. Other than that I'm pushing it to over 200 thousand miles. Such a wonderful car!

Incredible story.

Awesome testament to the engineering - and a manifest that a BMW can, if cared for, achieve great numbers. Just bought a 2012 F11 530d xDrive two weeks ago here in Latvia - with 274 000 kms on the clock - but in a surprisingly fresh and unmolested state (came from Austria and was owned by an arab, no less) - hoping that my bimmer, due to regular care and maintenance (have replaced the temporary "cheaper" 5W30 immediatetely after the purchase - will replace oil - and filter - once again with the prescribed Castrol oil after a week for another 7-10 000 (not 30 000 as BMW recommends)) - also can run far into the 300 000 territory. Thanks for the video - and to the owner for letting you film his baby - best of luck from Latvia.

Great video and nice to see something a bit different.

Interior looked in remarkably condition.. 👍

Remember this car from my technician days at Specialist Cars Tring, I’m sure my names in that service book somewhere! Glad to see it’s still running!

I almost fell off the toilet when he said it was the original clutch. That tells you how easy he's been on it and most likely why it's still running.

What a man! Long life to him and his M3! Is he really replaced bearing rods only 1 time? IMO he must did oil change every 3000 miles.

I very very nearly bought one of these on 237k miles last month, in an individual metallic green with fox red interior. Had a similar history too, with the last owner doing 100k in 3 years in it. Too many cars already was the only reason I didn't go for it but it looked like an awesome car.
