200k miles!?! That's great!

Some cars don't even look that good off the lot...

My car looks better, and it has 211,000k Jk.

I have some dove grey interior pieces from a non-M coupe if you need anything (visors, vanity light, pillars etc.) - Just taking up space.

Hmm how come is says 325i on the back of the car... up-badging are we?? Might as well throw some M badges on there too.

For real though that looks hella clean. I imagine it has been meticulously maintained as well. How much longer do you plan to drive it for?
