I purchased from a used car lot, back in 1994, a BMW 325es with 218,000 miles. The owners manual in the glovebox revealed a name and number to a gentleman about 10 miles from me. I phoned him, and he told me he was in his 60's... original owner... had purchased the car in Germany (US model)... driven it mostly auto/freeway... just him and, occasionally, his wife. Because his wife rarely was a passenger, and never a driver... to assure equitable seat wear would switch the driver/passenger seats every few months. He traded in the bim.. the bim wound up at an auction... was sold and that lot is from where I purchased it.
It now has 290,000 on the clock. I remain the owner.
