Would you buy an M3 with 100,000 miles?

This link is an example only of a car with almost 100,000 miles. Let's assume it has been maintained, updated, no major issues, no tracking or thrashing, etc..

Since before I bought my M3 I looked for anything I could find about the cars. One article quoted a BMW engineer predicting customers could expect 200 - 250 thousand without any transmission or engine problems, he based his comment on BMW reliability in general, but BMW engines that get awards year after year do so for a reason. Just saying.

Is 100k miles halfway? If you were selling your M3 with 100,000 miles on it, what would you tell potential buyers about longevity?

Pretty cheap for essentially, no, exactly the same thing you get new today for $80,000.
