First 100,000 mi. 200 all

For purely academic purposes, I thought I'd ask you kind folks, if you don't mind, what was done to your 240 in the first 100K of its life? Outside of normal maintenance items.

My '86 245 (first and last new car!)...replaced the original waterpump at 62,300 mi., motor mounts at 76,000, the factory rad. developed a leak at the connection for the lower hose and was replaced with a Modine and new hoses at 94K. My original tires were replaced at 58,000. The beast only went thru two sets of brake pads in the first 100K (one at 34K and another set at 74K).

Still rollin' along at almost 180,000 mi. Only "big ticket" repair, so far, was a new rack at 160k. Still has the original clutch (just replaced the original cable last week!!) and tranny shifts like new.

Damn fine cars.
