M3 E46 milage variation's V ££££....

[JimmyRb5Pro]

Looking at couple of M3's on here this w/e what is the difference in milage worth ( assume all else is the same - servicing condition etc )

Say 52K miles and 72K miles - is the 52K miles car worth £2k more ????

Any other advice - thoughts between these sorts of miles

Thanks in advance

Depends how many miles you're going to put on it. If it's gonna be a daily driver and you're intending on changing cars after a few years then just buy the higher mileage one (condition and everything else all equal) because you'll never see that £2k back.

But if you're intending on keeping it for a while and hoping it's gonna appreciate into a classic then get the lower mileage. But these won't become classics (apart from CSLs) so just get the higher mileage one.

Sometimes will depend on what service is due as the inspection 2 can cost around £700 so.

I would not pay £2000 more for 20k less miles on a car which will be 10+ years old.
