I'm not the orginal owner of the car so can't say the mileage when blown, but it was done 5 mos after original purchase... so probably ~5k. Now it has 78k miles. - Beau

I went from 88,000mi to 114,000mi with zero issues. Not sure what happened, but right after I bumped up from 6.5psi to 8psi + H20/Alc injection I began having problems.

He's not exactly been trouble free all that time. A few head gaskets inbetween if I recall.

Installed at 60K on 95 M3 and ran it into the high 70sK miles... No issues except oil pump pulley needing higher torque on the bolt... New owner still going strong near or over 100K miles
