I'm not that guy who wants to be infront of everyone and get to the light first. I go easy on acceleration and I rarely go beyond gear 4. Other than that I do fresh oil and filter change every 5-9000 miles. Valve cover gasket if it needs replacing, spark plugs all 6 and sensors. This all went kaput once at around 120-160.000 miles. Oh and the water pump and temp gauge got replaced at 150k miles. That's about it really =| |

E90 era bmws in my experience were not the most reliable by any means. Especially the N54/N55 motors. It is like having the blonde Malibu high maintenance girlfriend, who knows what you were in for. F30 and G30 of all trims I would expect to be better across the board, but the data will show.

Any idea who (forum member or otherwise, could be a magazine / media entity) has the highest mileage / most beaten M340i so far?

Yea, I am quite fortunate with my e90 .
I want to believe that it's my driving style and the way I treat the car too on top of that. But I'm glad you guys said that the F30 and G20 models will be even more reliable so I'm hunting one down. Might even go for a 2020 model since the price look to be quite similar. |

Likely Car and Driver, they are the only magazine I know of doing 40k miles in an M340i and was last seen a few months ago w/ 10k.

In that regard, the E / G series have it better than the F series. I imagine that while we had a new interior but basically same exterior for the G20, the G22 will now have the G20 interior + new exterior. If they make any major distinctive changes to the interior vs the G20 I'd be surprised. |
