_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 11, 2013 yes 400 starting to get up there especially for an NZ car. but wouldnt be worried about it, have seen them fall apart at less than half that. proof if you look after it it will go forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted October 11, 2013 Its quite impressive really..........not often you see a Euro car with that mileage in NZ.......on youtube theres quite a few BMW's with well over 200k miles on them........ As Andy said - servicing plays a bit part, as does how its driven - eg, don't thrash the snot outa it when motor / drive train is still cold........

lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted October 11, 2013 I wouldn't pay the asking price though. Pissed off the owner with an offer to trade my Diamante with $1k his way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted October 12, 2013 There was an E38 750iL up here a few years back, with 500K+ on it... was ex real estate vehicle. My brother-in-law went to look at it, and it was a really nice car, but it sold for more than he was willing to pay - Can't recall the price now, but I was tempted by the start price too, from memory. If that one above was an actual facelift model with the M52TU, one of the last, with the motorsport goodies (and not the badge!) I'd be tempted at close to that price. But not the "old" e38 - they just aren't worth that much (especially so with 400k on it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
