Reason I ask is I bought my '90 M3 back in late 2008, and it's a high mileage example also....199,000 miles. I've put less than 2,000 miles on it in 13 years, sad I know. But it's close to perfect for me anyway. I bought mine from a BMW Master Mechanic who also has an M3 Sport EVO, so he knew his stuff....he installed new bearings in the bottom end before my purchase. My compression testing resulted in a tight engine, not unlike brand new! So, potential buyers DO NOT let the mileage scare you, as it shouldn't, not on a well maintained S14!
