My 2007 BMW 118D has 250,000 miles on the clock and is still going strongly. It's had the ancillary parts replaced like the turbo / flywheel but nothing inside the block itself. I also was shiocked how good condition it was in when we tool the head off about 50,000 miles ago but I am not convinced it will reach the same milestone as the car in the video.
