How long will a B5 S4 motor last?
 

I'm looking at B5 S4s and mainly all I find are ones with around 120,000 miles and sometimes higher... how long would the motor last ya think? I'm sure they'll last long like most BMWs because they are both German, but any input?? thanks!

It's hard to tell, the most I have seen on one is 210,000. After all there only 6 years old.
The motor seams to be bullet proof. The real weak link is the Turbo's & electrical sensors.

From what I have seen & read, no one has blown on up yet from driving it or wearing it out.

My guess would be a 300,000mi engine if you take care of it. It's just as stout as the M20's & M30 BMW engines.
