My '04 3.0i is currently on 157k and still going strong! As long as it has been well maintained, there isn't much to go wrong, I've had my car for 4 years and the only engine related issues I've had were a leaky rocker cover gasket (very common) and coil pack - so nothing major!

Great to hear your 3 litre is still going strong at 157k.A guy with a utube site who also has a 3 litre 2003 vintage,and also big mileage was trying it out on the autobahn, and reached 150 mph.Im sure my 2.5 can get somewhere close to that, but i will never see it,too fast for me.....

mine currently nearly 120k miles, bought with about 80k and no history. had some issues, but nothing major\super expensive. usual stuff: vanos and disa rebuild, new CVV fitted, some oil leaks fixed, new MAF, new spark plugs. New shockers all 4 corners twice in 5 years and 40k miles (that was best money spent ever). Usual suspension fixes time to time. Few other issues, but generally, nothing too bad in 5 years of ownership.

Apart of that tons of money spent, but not for fixes, but rather for "glamorisation", like 108 style alloys and stuff like that
