Today my 1998 BMW 318is reached 300,000 km (186411 miles), and is still going strong.
Not bad for a car with an aftermarket supercharger fitted for most of its life.
I haven't updated on the car lately because not much has gone wrong. The only recent issue was that the airbag warning light came on but went out after I reconnected the plugs under the passenger seat.
Everything else has been okay with the car and my fuel economy has somehow improved, my latest averages being around 6.9 l/100km (34 mpg).
Also, I think I might be starting to like the eBay short shifter.

@BVG, I sold this car a few months ago. It has a Downing Atlanta supercharger kit. There's lots of posts and photos on the page for my car here: www.motortraders.net/cars/724-1998-bmw-318is
