Clutch, flywheel and transmission serviced at 198k by previous owner, so I assume IMS replaced then, but can�t confirm.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

48 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Curious who has the highest mileage, original non-rebuilt engine, 996 on this forum. I�m coming for ya! 84k currently.

POST 4Original post

Good thread. Hope we get some high counts. Mine only has 67K on it.

POST 5Original post

I'm middle of the pack I think. 104k on a 2004 C4S.

POST 6Original post

Hit 136k this morning, 6/98 C2 6 speed Original IMS. Clutch and AOS done 30k ago.

POST 7Original post

911user on this board has well over 400K on his 40thAE now.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 16738663

Dang that�s impressive. The 40th AE has the Mezger, right?

POST 9Original post

Quotes source post: 16738672

Nope. Standard M96 X51. Chance Hales has over 175,000 miles on his Millennium Edition. Original engine and IMS as far as I can remember.

POST 10Original post

Quotes source post: 16738672

No it has the X51 M96 3 chain 340 hp engine. The X51 M96 was really intended for the US GT3 if the Mezger didn�t make it in time.

I'd love to hear more about this, could you point me towards any reading or videos discussing it?

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 16738683

Yup! I'm almost to 176k. Original engine, IMS, and RMS. However, my 2nd gear synchro is starting to go so I have a transmission waiting for me at my tech's shop and it is getting install in August (soonest he can get to it). He is also doing the IMS, RMS, and clutch while we're there. My first major repair since I bought the car.

POST 17Original post

183,000 here and all still original and still running great. Rich

POST 18Original post

My indy's personal 996 is at 240K but he did do a rebuild on it. I think he said his IMS finally went somewhere in the 180K range & that's when he rebuilt the engine.

POST 19Original post

Rolling with 110k on my 02 C4S Replaced Clutch IMS and RMS at 93k

POST 20Original post

205k and runs strong, original ims to my knowledge and oil sample came back A+ just a few weeks ago. Exterior definitely shows its age haha

nice wheels and skirts!

POST 22Original post

Quotes source post: 16742715

Thanks, I think they are the sport design wheels? 2 piece bbs. Previous owner had already put the gt3 skirts and rear spats on. Would like to do some cup bumper when i get the time.

POST 23Original post

Mine had over 200K on it 7 years ago when I picked up as a roller (cam chain tensioner broken and jammed between the sprocket, causing the chain to jump and bend some valves).

POST 24Original post

911User's 40th AE sitting at just over 426,000 miles at this point. Quite a feat for sure.

POST 25Original post

From a FB group today not my car. "Hello all - I think I�m winning here... I am based in Virginia and have a 1999 996 C4 daily driver - today I hit 400,000km (248,550 miles) Is there anyone else in this club with me? Before you ask... there have been no major issues under my ownership. Regular maintenance and oil changes - and every once and a while I stretch it out to 150mph with ease."

Whoa, what color is that? Rare

POST 27Original post

Now there�s a brave soul. Not because he drives a 996, but because he� stretched to 150mph in Virginia!

Ocean Jade Metallic with nephrite green leather Rich

POST 29Original post

My friend just picked up a 996 with 223K on it . Runs strong . Going to do IMS and Clutch on it , plus a handful of little things.

POST 30Original post

not super surprised the AE has 400k on it. X51 engines have improved cooling, and oiling. Both the killers on M96s

POST 31Original post

This weekend: Picking up a White 2003 911 in Texas with 187,000 miles and driving it 1200 miles to Maryland. Fly in, change the oil, hit the road. Get home, change the oil. Done. At least that's the plan

POST 39Original post

I want that green 996! My1999 Carrara C2 Silver on Black has 169000K miles on it now. Original 3.4 engine and Tiptronic transmission Just ever needed Vario cam Guides was the only engine out maintenance. Still original mufflers exhaust and Wheels. Most reliable 911 EVER!!! .

Just park your car under one of my shade trees with the windows slightly cracked for a few months and it will be green inside and out.

POST 44Original post

Quotes source post: 16737590

my 2000 996 is at 103485 and still going strong! The recent Blackstone analysis came back perfect with no signs of deterioration. I change oil and filter every 5500 miles and service according to factory schedule. I guess there's something to be said about regular and meticulous service!!

POST 45Original post

My '99 C2 Tip is at 185k and counting. It has not needed any major work and is still going strong.

POST 47Original post

Well my 2000 Millenium Edition 6 speed has 159k, but the engine was rebuilt at 137k when the IMS let go

POST 48Original post

218k on my 2003 C2. I bought it cheap. Clutch, flywheel and transmission serviced at 198k by previous owner, so I assume IMS replaced then, but can�t confirm. It probably has bore scoring and 1/4 quart oil usage every 1k miles. I drive the crap out of it for an hour 2x per week. Eventually I�ll do a Slakker rebuild when it blows up, but for now, I pour my time and money into my 1970 911T
