520d with 323k km (200k miles) in 2.5 years. Given you should have been staying at home for a year of that....
€25k feels a bit strong

Impressive. And massively over-priced. €25k feels a bit strong

Who would buy this??? surely if it was a private individual that new that he/she would be doing monster miles they would buy a diesel and have some luxuries, that's probably one of the lowest specd car BMW have ever sold in recent times.
I sort of did something similar. Got a boggo spec, petrol Octavia for a short commute, was only 15 minutes a day. Things went well quickly, ended up in a different job role that involved business travel. Started doing 35-45k a year travelling all over. Didn’t see the financial sense in the depreciation. Car was reliable and i was all of a sudden so busy I didn’t want the faff of changing, so ran it into the ground for 4 years. Was going to be going even longer but I crashed it and wrote it off.
I did 35k a year in a 15 year old 2.0i Avensis for 7 years. It would have been foolish to change it - chasing MPGs. It did 38 on a run and had already paid for itself three times over.

318k miles. Doesn’t seem that high for year but look at MOT. Some years it did 2-3k miles. Other years smashing out 40k+ miles
When the mileage correction bloke is on holiday until after the MOT is due on your taxi.318k miles. Doesn’t seem that high for year but look at MOT. Some years it did 2-3k miles. Other years smashing out 40k+ miles
I'm intrigued fail for 3 wheels missing wheel nuts.
Sounds like some fell down the drain and he swapped them around so he only had one missing on each wheel

Only 20k more than my 944, but mine is 2 years newer. They can go on for a long time if well cared for.

Current owner got it in 2012 at 60k.

Why would you? You can have one the same model type, with civilian interior and a lot fewer miles for the same money...https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202101147...

Well indeed, but then you wouldn't have the scuffed bumper, interior full of holes, broken parking brake, and only one working key of the ex-plod car - and where would the fun in that be. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202101147...

Basic spec, holes in the interior and roof. The holes in the roof weren’t properly sealed (probably because they’re high and out of sight) so water ingress caused some properly strange electrical issues.
He also had loads of problems with the suspension and engine.
Essentially he bought an already fragile car that had been used hard for most of its life and had to deal with regular visits to the garage when it went wrong again and again.
So he did the only sensible thing, kept it and added a discovery 4 to the drive too!

I offered him £3500 for it months ago in the hope that he wouldn't accept it but in the knowledge that if he did I could run it and likely lose little to no money after 6 months when I came to sell it on. He politely declined. aaron_2000 said:

Despite the pictures being a symphony of oppressive grey, it does seem to have worn its miles pretty well. Despite that, I can't possibly imagine what goes through someone's mind thinking they can command such a premium for a motor with 300k plus on the clock. It's not nearly new, it's not an interesting or custom colour, it's not better spec'd than the legion of similar age models for the same money at a third of the miles - why they think it's worth more than shed money to someone is either ignorance or arrogance.
It'll stay at that money until his ego finally caves and he accepts probably much less than you offered from someone, or shoves it through an auction.

I love an L322 as much as anyone - but more than a brave pill required here I think.
