The heat cycling, loading, and environment were much much less harsh than if it were driven on the road. The only thing that can be fairly said is that Mobil 1 oil protects a piece of machinery being run for a long duration in a stable environment and that BMW designed an engine that operated for a long duration in a stable environment without failures or substantial wear.

Not downplaying it at all, because its great novelty material for an engineer/bmw enthusiast, but the first person that posts an E30 on craigslist claiming "300k miles is nothin, these things go to 1million miles and are just fine" is going to get punted.

Oh and love cutaway videos like this:

It's funny, I still find it hard to believe my car was new at one point in its life... So weird.

Make friends with someone who works at a new car dealership, and they'll make your car smell brand new for a longgg time. i found out why cars smell the way they do.. haha
