Pretty keen on this ^ has high kms but i'm thinking its probably spent most of its life driven long distances by a lady owner rather than being thrashed by teenagers.

Previously owned a e46 328 and a e36 325 sedan both with under 200thou kms, both felt like they still had plenty of life mechanically.

Wanting a cheap weekender.... Thinking i'll go over the hill and have a look at this next week.... does it seem like a good deal?

can't comment on that one, but keep well away from the white one with the hard top, was a water damaged car that went through Turners a few years back

maintenance history is the best to check.

Otherwise see my other post on a similar topic regarding a high kms 7 series. My e36 just ticked over 280kms and its not doing too badly. i have full service history though!
