Re: Okay, E46 crew, I need your help with this question.

I guess that's true if you're into collecting and think that low mileage is important. You should seek out a vehicle with 100-130k miles and completed rod bearings if you intend to drive it. Honestly, when you get it, it's like a whole recharge at this age. You may obtain a vehicle with 130,000 ...
