.. looking at this one. Should I be concerned at the 72k miles?

TIA

Well I suppose that is only really average mileage as the car is at least 7 years old now, so it wouldn't concern me unduly. I would buy more on condition and history.

I'm pretty sure it's got the N52 engine, and my Coupe with a 3 litre N52 has just gone past 85K and still performs fine.

I'm sure someone on here had a Coupe (so N52) that had gone past 200K miles!

Love the colour BTW - good luck with the search OP. :thumbsup:
 
72k miles. What are you worried about? Is it that you will have to take it easy for the next 28k until it's fully run in?
 
Not really concerned. Was looking for something around the 40/45k mark. That seems to make the search a little more difficult.

It's a long way from Southampton so want to make sure it's worth the trip.
 
Seat belt webbing is worn, windscreen has slight damage, usual trick of not showing the driver's side seat which could be worn. Mileage is not really a problem for the car just for their next owners who will want a low mileage as possible.
 
MOT history. When looking at any car run it through the site.

go to Cargurus and run a search. This one in Horley. Low mileage

72k wouldn't worry me on that engine. Looks tidy, lovely colour, wind deflector still in place. Only thing I can spot is the offside front grille isn't seated properly but that could be an easy fix. Ask a few questions before you decide to travel
 
Bore us :? This is a Z4 forum :D
Lovely looking E89, they look great in that colour - don't let the mileage put you off :thumbsup:
