70K absolutely fine but SH a must.
Mine's on 60K awaiting HG failure!!

81k FBMWSH and pulling like train.

65k and head gasket being done right now but that should really be the only serious mileage related issue I gather.....

Tighter than a..........

89K with FBMWSH

Still running on original engine with original HG

Engine oil & filter changed every 4K miles ... or at least once a year.
Gareth did a compression & leak down test last year and it was bang on speck & tight as.

Why do the head gaskets go ? How do they fail ?
On regular M3s is this usually a problem above 100k miles or 50k miles ?

Presumably M3 CSLs are seeing this at 60k miles plus because they have been driven very hard on track ?
