I just wanted to see how your MS6's are doing with high miles. I have 104xxx and mine is still running strong. I didn't start putting mods on tell about 85000. I don't have alot of mods just intake , bpv, tip, testpipe, and standback on the way. I plan on doing alot more to this car but don't know if it's a bad idea with over 100000. Just want to see if anyone has a higher milage MS6 still running strong without a rebuild.
How's your MS6 holding up?

I've got an 06 Sport also. Just turned 50K miles. No major repairs so far, and my only complaint is an intermittent suspension noise that I believe is a dry joint in one of the lower control arms.
The only mod is a Cobb short-ram air intake.
Good to know yours has lasted so long... I plan on keeping mine until it falls apart.

Just rolled 80K on my 06. Aside from from tires every 20k I haven't had any major problems. Rotors and pads replaced about 15k miles ago. Replaced both front wheel bearings about a month ago. That's been the extent of any major problems. I had the EGR Valve replaced last year when it threw a code, under warranty. Also had the control arm TSB done. Body is in good shape. the hood and nose cone have their share of stone chips. One is about the size of a nickel on the leading edge of the hood. I have the touch up paint, just no time to take care of it. Still going strong
What is this control arm TSB you speak of?

car was pulling to the right constantly .. there was a TSB out that changed the control arm so that caster was corrected. I attached the TSB for you.

Thanks!
Mine is at 90k right now and i dont see why it should fall apart if you take good care of it. I had two major maintenance done at 35 and 70k miles where I changed all fluids, lubricated ac compressor, cleaned combustion chambers and lots of other stuff. Last time to check performance I screamed with new subaru sti on the highway, we went all out and I was very pleased with how my car ran, we were even not more, not less. My car is stock except intake, turbo pill and suspension work. The only thing as someone noted is the rust forming in the rear door, but otherwise its flawless.

55k Miles here.
Lets just say everything went at once.
I was cruising @ 68 in 6th gear and all of a sudden there was a nice loud *CLING* and then some noise.
Took it to the shop and it was my clutch, my 3rd and 4th rod and my engine block.
I have light mods and all highway miles
Engine is rebuilt now with an upgraded clutch and rods. Lookin good so far

It worries me seeing these motors blowing! Im over 80k miles. Clutch might be going soon, and I have the usual turbo smoke on occasion but to have a blown motor would kill me!
I drive my car easy. Havent launched it once. I want to, but I fear losing my daily driver.

Got myself a 06 with about 156KM which is 97miles...
Really the only major thing I've encounter was a failed MAF after I changed my battery recently. Beyond that I've invested most of my money in making this car bulletproof.
So I'm looking into getting a OCC, swapping the rear diff brace and front one's (and possibly the front mount), for sure a TT skid plate (b/c of our Canadian winters) going to do the seafoam treatment soon, and I'll continue on with my mods.

2006 with 45k on it. I am constantly looking for something else then I realize nothing does what this car does in this price range. Alas, I will have to wait for my residency/fellowship to be over for the F30 M3.
My car has a new turbo replaced under warranty and a new clutch done under the TSB. Mazda replaced all 4 OEM wheels due to flaking (which I ended up selling). Otherwise, no major mechanical issues whatsoever.
