watFrom my knowledge of European engines... When it reaches 30,000 Miles or 50,000 Kms.... It becomes expensive and unreliable. They are highly strung From the get go hence why you see 2.5 lt turbo engines with 400 horse power and 400Nm of torque from low revs... The OEMs crank it for performance rather than reliability and durability.
this is the direct opposite of my experience
maybe if you keep them on the rev limiter 24/7 and run them on cooking oil?
One of my close friends has an S3 with nearly four times the km on it. It gets regular oil changes and serviced correctly - but it's all done by us (euro are super easy to work on in my experience) and the thing has been belted. no issues. same for all the old Mercedes I have owned, the renaults, etc.
look after them like it says in the book - drive them hard and enjoy
