100K MP5 Club

But hey, I've still got a lot of miles on her! Haha! And I don't baby my engine. Well, I take care of it, but I certainly don't push the motor.

And there's no reason you shouldn't. Just don't ever mistake the car for what it isn't. What I mean is that they'll never be fast... at least not without a whole ton of money put into it. Great handling, affordable cars that will get you from A to B with a big smile on your face.
 
My 03 is at 107 right now. Hopefully she hangs in there with all the fricken distance commuting I'm doing for school. :/
 
Rock n roll ! I'm at about 123xxx had to replace my belt in the middle of my Texas -to- Cali road trip other than that factory clutch trans and 2.0

114,000 and I still love it.
 
ive got 126,687 on mines, this is a new motor i put in about 2 months ago lol!! ive have only had the car for 2 months though, i bought it with a broken engine.
 
2003 P5, just hit 142000 today... original motor, second clutch, but it's starting to want more attention...
 
Attention in which way? It's pointless to shoot for more power because it just won't happen easily.
 
Oooo. Gotcha. Good because if you were trying to turn it into a race car, I would have to give you the same speech I give everyone else.

Don't waste your bloody time.


Carry on! Keep it chugging.
 
Now I'm 4x in this club. I purchased a 211K mile P5... and my old P5 is still rockin at 265K, that car is still so impressive. Puts my BMW to shame.
