Well following from the topic 'Young and old' I thought we could find out who has the most and least miles on their Z3.
I suppose I'll start it off then.....
Built July '99; 159k miles...

According to my gps, mine under reads by about 5%, so my clock says 60, I reckon it's done 63.

Nothing as exciting as a spaceship.
National Express Coach (Volvo B12 with I shift box). Swansea to London twice a day for 5 years soon racks the mileage up!
Got to be honest though, it drove very nicely, and felt quite tight. One careful owner, never raced or rallied etc etc.
