I just cracked 140k myself; and I agree the car is better than ever.
They hold up well... minus a sunroof motor going out, cruise control saying F U and the passenger side door lock not working.

guess I've been lucky. car has sat for a combined 2+ years at different times. mostly outside buried in snow lol. only thing bad was the sunroof drain backs clogged and flooded the car with about 6 inches of water (thankfully up on jackstands with no motor so it all ended up in the trunk)
Looking at my mod list I think it may be time to start grabbing parts for an engine build...of course this won't be immediate will be grabbing parts over winter lmao just trying to get an idea of what to grab.
Im thinking about getting my block sleeved and adding adding higher compression Pistons, as well as getting the exhaust ports matched to my header with cams, oversized valves,valve springs, possibly solid lifters if everything keeps going the way it has been.

Okay guys I'm having an itch to assblast the 400whp mark with a 2.4 pulley, you guys think doable? I'll be at 6500 feet at the Pikes peak airstrip attack so i'll lose alot of power up there. I hit 390 with a 2.7.

Went out to make a few quick test runs to test my new axle and log the new cooling setup.
3-4th pull. started at ~60mph@4900rpm in 3rd with an iat2 of 75*f. 7750rev limiter for the time being. Outside air was a cool 53*f. It's still mild here in MI.
Tune isn't final. Still needs some things worked out
Iat1 is really iat2. Base model problems haha
Pretty happy with it so far. Old cooling setup would hit low 140s at the top of 4th in similar weather

I'm on the same "base+" tune as last fall, so its nothing really new. Pulls hard. I need to get the limiter where it needs to be so I can actually hit 100 in 3rd haha. I timed a few 58-98s, and managed a 59-99 once haha.
The past few months my inner cv has been slowly consuming itself, so I was taking it easy. Throwing my oem axle back in solved the issue, so it nice to actually be able to do pulls again.
For what its worth; virtual dyno puts me in the 410-420 range, understating the weight a bit to be conservative. Still climbing hard at ~7600. Plan is to limit at 8192 and shift 8-8.1k. There is no rev limit multiplier on the e37, otherwise i would push a bit further
