Question

how many miles can a bmw 318i engine do?

Answer 1

It depends. There is no set amount where the motor will finally say 'right, thats it, im done'



There are lots of variables in a cars history that will increase or decrease its lifespan.



If the motor is well looked after with regular services and oil changes, and problems are fixed as soon as they arise, then the motor will last a considerably long time.



If the motor is neglected, allowed to run with no oil or water, not serviced regularly, driven with engine lights flashing, then you can expect the life to decrease.



I would expect that 300,000 miles is toward the end of its life. It may keep going for another 200,000 but at 300,000, I would say that the motor has done a good job, and that it would need to be rebuilt shortly,

Answer 2

If maintained by following the inspection recommendation (follow the Onboard computer direction) the engine should last you about 300K miles. However, your transmission will not. if it us automatic transmission, it should last around 150K miles.



Even if you flush the transmission, the ZF (your transmission vendor) states that it is designed to last up to 200K miles.

Answer 3

BMW makes a very fine automobile. It should be good for well over 150,000 miles. If it's a diesel expect about another 100,000 added to that.
