E93 is definitely worth it!

Man am I glad to have found your channel! I'm considering buying very close to the exact same car, white on red, DCT. Currently has 121K very well dealer maintained (regular oil, other fluids, brakes etc.) two-owner E93. Need to get/find out about complete records obviously, mainly re: rod bearings, throttle actuators being done as that'll make a huge difference in what I'll consider a fair deal-making price. It's with a very respected enthusiast dealer I know well and trust, and their asking $ is very decent. I've always wanted one, and the crazy covid stimmy inflated pricing is coming back down to earth-think maybe it's time to pull the trigger. I don't wrench-at all-but I always own at least one older German car (currently have a W201 Merc, a '90 190E) and have a great indie mechanic. That said, he ain't free lol so if I get into a bunch of issues it'll get expensive and one thing about a high mileage performance/specialty car $ put into it is usually $ you'll never get back at resale so most people recommend a higher priced lower-mile example but as you've shown if these are well maintained there's no reason not to expect 150K+ easily. Thanks for all the 411, giving me some peace of mind, and If I get it, your channel will be def be a great resource. Cheers man!
