Curious also. Plus interested in how it works in general, insurance and all that.

A tick over 35k miles. Fairly reliable

[akkando]

I'm currently just under 42k miles

How's that saying go? Having a nice car and not driving it because you want to keep miles low for the next owner is like having a hot girlfriend and refusing to have sex with her because you're saving her for the next guy.


I'm at 42K miles.

[ZM2]

38k miles, with half of it on the track or driving to the track.

Dang that's awesome! Good to see how durable and reliable the m2 is seeing I know how hard you drive this thing.

I guess I also have to repost this since it was deleted after the troll got removed, but my personal m2 has 9,000 km due to it being a summer car. I would like to drive it more but transit for me is really convenient because it stops right in front of my office and I can avoid traffic.

I completely understand

I often take Uber if my 2nd car is in use

It's nice having access to an office without moving a car or dealing w/ parking

Absolutely! No need to find a spot to park, don't need to scrap off the car in the winter.

Otherwise I normally just use my m2 for a weekend car, and my suv does the job if I go shopping.

Issues?
1 item is the fuel pumps. I've had (4) failures/warnings from new. It has been inspected, software updated and so far has been solid for a while now again. I suspect poor fuel, low fuel levels and long driving distances and long periods of operation as causes. I get a powertrain warning, pull off and shut down, then restart.

Cars aren't girls, but I get what you're saying.

Some guys, like myself, will keep things exceptionally nice for as long as they can to keep the "newness", it's called pleasure delaying. Having said that, I don't worry about my mileage, but have only driven 6,500 miles in 1.5 years of ownership.

I can understand and respect that, I meant it only as tongue in cheek humor.

The one thing I miss about my car from brand new was the truly matte finish on the steering wheel leather. I have babied, obsessed over, and kept it exceptionally clean but in 40K miles it's just not like it once was.

c'est la vie, I guess!

All cars are ladies to me, but I get what you're saying

I personally drive 4-5k per year on my sports cars but with Covid even less this last year

I'd say it also has to do with how well you take car of your car. You wouldn't be able to tell my 2018 LBB has 44k miles on it from the exterior nor the interior... Maybe like 10-15K due to the seats

Thank god for San Diego weather!

Dude, me too! I LOVE that perfect matte finish on a new wheel! I always keep a new steering wheel ready to replace my old one when it gets slick.

You know what's funny. I've had my older photography described as "automotive boudoir" by more than one person. So I guess they're ladies to me as well.

Same. My 2006 Exige with 35K on the clock looks brand new.

Are we just going to casually gloss over the guy who said he has 80,000+ miles on his M2? I need to know what the issues or lack thereof there were!

Steering wheel is easy to source and replace. A door on the other hand, not so much.

Yeah I'm on the lookout for a low mileage OEM unit, they pop up occasionally on the classifieds when someone swaps out for one of those alcantara or carbon fiber wheels. Just have to jump on one.

I'm the same way haha! I've got two spare ZHP shift knobs stashed away for when my current one gets too shiny and worn lol.

Wow! As others have said, interested in any issues/maintenance you have had to do. Assuming highway miles?

[EstorilM]

I am at 35k ish. Was my dd, but recently picked up a 2004 LS430 with 50k miles to take that spot.
