My buddy just sold his E46 M3 with ~220k on his and it still ran like a top. FWIW, when we ran we were very even, until I eventually started to walk him. Very similar cars with very un-similar power bands.
Oh, good question and yes it's still running excellent at 96K! I got a tip on my E36 M3 to keep it below 100K from a German car consignment guy. He mentioned that "young buyers" tend to need financing and some credit unions and banks will loan on cars up to 100K miles.

So I consigned with him at 98K on the E36. Turns out a younger ish (24 yr old) came up and paid pretty much my asking price and got a loan.
