Hmm... 120/day for 15+ years = more than 650,000 miles!

I know of an older E23 735 with more miles than that on it, so it could be
theoretically possible.
(Try achieving that in your Renault or Citroen!)

Christ! Wonder how much in repair bills that works out at?
The old E23 above has had *one* head rebuild with new cam and followers, a
water pump, 2 radiators and one new clutch in addition to the usual wearing
parts like brakes etc, and has so far racked up about 680k+.
How's the E34 going btw?

I don't think either has been imported into the U.S. for a number of years.
Back in the day, my daughter learned how to drive a manual transmission on a
R5 ("LeCar") that I owned. She has since learned that in normal cars, you
don't have to remove the radio to shift into 3rd - but it was touch and go
for awhile!
