Are there any other high mile M's out there? My 98 sedan has 114000 and is in excellent condition. I bought it to drive, enjoy and for taking trips. Most people seem scared of the mileage on these cars. My thought is that the car thats run more often (less startup friction) for longer periods of time at full operating temp is better for the car. Anyone else?

BMW's are made to last forever, well, other than suspension parts, of course. If you do the maintenance that it requires then it will indeed last for as long as you want.Comment

Its good to hear. When I first started looking into these cars everyone acted like if you got over a certain mileage the car would fall apart......I plan to rack-em up and enjoy every one. If I had bought a lower mile version I would be apprehensive about the value going down for resale reasons. Now I dont have to care......Comment
