There is one for sale that is about 1:30 away from me. Do you guys think the mileage would be something to worry about? It’s a one owner 325xi 6 speed with 140k miles that has Premium and cold weather packages.

like any car, if it was taken care of i don’t see it being an issue, its just a matter of whether or not any services that need to be done (timing chain on these?) and if not do you mind addressing it.

Depends on the price and how youre gonna pay for it.  
I dont see financing a car with those miles for 4-6 years as being a good idea.

I’m guessing ^ was an E36.

I’m no expert, but I know the E46 is more complicated than the 36, and the E9x has even more stuff that could go wrong.

I think $75-$100 spent to get the wagon checked out by people who know what to look for would be a good idea, no?

Those newer wagons with 6 speeds seem to be rare…
