My last 325i breaker had 276k on the clock and still pulled like a train. Think previous owner was Mr J.T. Kirk.

my 87 pre face lift 318i has 83k. Full bmwsh. I'm the 2nd owner and responsible for 20k of those in the last two years.

can't judge condition by mileage tho! although my beemers immaculate but I had a MB 280SEL with 24k on - the bulkhead was truly rotten and I had to write it off.
