The car in question has just over 100k miles. The PO drove it 100k miles in a little over two years. It's a one owner, no accidents, 6-spd, medium optioned car. They are asking $35k.

I'd be getting rid of my current F30 335i for the M3. Just not sure what to expect in terms of mechanical failures/worn components. If I were to buy it, I'd immediately be doing all fluids, filters and spark plugs just to get a base line, and cross my fingers that Blackstone returns good results.

I'm no stranger to high mileage BMWs, I drove my old E46 M3 to well above 200k. Just not 100% confident in these new turbo cars.

Thanks Guys

I wouldn't "upgrade" a 335 to an extended use M3.
