There's an E30 register somewhere, loads and loads of 500k+ Cars, and quite a few 1mill+ too !

This has been around years and yeah ok it done the million miles but sat at a constant speed on a rr, no accelrating decelerating braking etc so hardly any strain on the engine.

imo not a true reflection.

Exactly that.

LOL @ the reporter who, I'm guessing, had a drive and was "astonished" by the visibility (modern cars seem to all be designed like vans as far as I'm concerned) and fact he actually had to put some effort into DRIVING the car. Yoiks!

Wonder how much they'd want for it (Donor engine 735is can be had for peanuts...) :)
