Probably been done to death, but E90's with high mileage?
Discussion
Looking for an E90 3 series, touring or salloon. iDrive would be a massive bonus, must not be leather and must be M Sport.
I've considered 330i but one of the reasons my ST220 pisses me off (along with having horrible leather seats) is the fuel cost.
I considered a 330d, and i suppose i get the performance, but not a massive MPG gain.
So, the only obvious choice i guess is the 320d. However, for my budget of about 8/9k, im struggling for one with iDrive. One with iDrive and Xenons is impossible at that price.
So, the next step down is a standard 320d M Sport with cloth interior. However, i'd say 95% of them have over 110k.
Is this a really bad thing? I know you buy a car based on condition, service history and all that kind of stuff, but just after general opinions on these things with intergalactic mileage. I'd probably end up doing about 30k miles before i end up getting rid, so unsure what resale will be like.
In reality, i've got a budget of around £20k, which i know would get me the best 3 series in the world, but i cant justify spending all that on a car, so have limited myself to 8k, 9k max.
Eta: I know i might get one on a private sale at this price, but it means selling mine aswell, and i just find it hard to trust a private sale with this amount of money. I know some garages arent much better, and there's probably some real private gems out there, but it's being able to differentiate.
