I still have the original water pump. 171k miles. 2010 C4S. No need to change it.

I'm at 134K and am almost completely on original parts. Just curious what you've replaced under your stewardship.

Replaced shocks at 120k
Clutch around 130k
Coils around 100k
Had front axles refurbished and reinstalled at 110k
AOS and brittle hose lines at 168K
MAS at 130k
Sun Roof stopped working around 120k (probably easy fix but I don't feel like dealing with it)
Battery around 120k
Belt tensioner 130k
So yes, these are the big things you need to deal with after 100k miles. But basically, my car should last to at least 250k no sweat. And I don't baby it. I had a 930 turbo I daily drove for many miles too. You just have to maintain these things and they will outlast you.

What year and model is yours?

PS. Never mind, scrolled and found 2010 C4S!

Probably because the car can't believe it either and wants the owner to make sure it's still an M96 engine back there LOL.

I'm at 131k. I have had it for the last 40K. The only thing I have had to do was the AOS and that was because of a coolant leak. It has been amazingly reliable.

I am about to do clutch, flywheel, rms and IMS solution.
