no, I had 126K on mine. close enough, I guess. now the engine should last another 100K at least once i get the rebuild done

yea, i've had a few small dramas with the rebuild, but so far nothing major. at least all the parts (both mechanical and anatomical) are still intact. my only friendliness with the M3 is driving it. haven't even taken off the engine cover yet. the car runs perfectly.
