I bought my 2016 340 back in July of 2019 with 45,000 miles on it. Fast forward to October 2020 and the car just hit 60,000 miles. Is 60k miles on a 2016 340 alot? Its my only car currently so want to slow down adding miles on her so mite look into a cheap daily...thoughts?

You've only driven 15K Miles in the roughly two years you've owned it? Here in the US, insurance and leasing companies consider 10K~12K miles a year normal. You're well below that.

I'd say 60K on a '16 is around average mileage all things considered. Cars run well as long as you keep driving them. Granted you'll burn through consumables like tires and brake pads faster and need oil changes a little more often, but drive your car!

You should easily get well over a 100K miles on your car and it will still be running great as long as you maintain it. My E46 at 130K miles was running better and was more reliable than when it was new. I put 15~20K miles on it a couple of the 8 years I owned it.

How is 15 months roughly 24 months?

He did 1k a month which is average, but that's not nearly 2 years. lol


I wouldn't buy a daily. Just run the car and enjoy it. I personally love putting on miles, why waste my life preserving something for the next guy?

You're right...that's what I get for posting while on a conference call.

And it's rapidly deprecating. Just drive it

Don't worry...my 2016 340i xDrive 6-spd has 92K miles on it and it's fine (for now. )

Love what i'm hearing and glad to see others enjoying their ride like myself🤙🏾

I have a 2016 340i and have 34.5k miles on it (and thats after a roadtrip from TX to NY). So, While 60K is not "a ton," its a decent amount.

That fact that it's a manual makes it even more reliable. No need to worry about the ZF transmission service. Just stay diligent on oil changes, fluid, and other regular maintenance and you'll be fine.
