> 400k km

? LOL

Why not just use megameters? 400Mm

OK, something about that looks odd. But what's the point in SI units if you can't actually use them?

Maybe 250k miles?

When have you ever seen a car dashboard display Mm. It was perfectly clear what they were trying to convey.
I am totally using Mm next time someone talks cars/bikes with me. Thank you.
Ah but is a megameter 10^6m or 2^20m? ;)
That would be a Mebimeter, according to SI. Whether or not this sounds silly is another issue.
Nope, miles are always a bad choice.
