I know someone who has one with 160k and it basically looks and runs like new. And I know of several others for which the car has been kept all but bone stock and in top shape. It's not their DD -- which would be the point for the OP, and is the point for many who now own one: It's a weekend fun car. Why does a weekend fun car absolutely need a buttload of HP?

Because it doesn't for many.
Agreed. I almost bought a S2000 instead of my 135i. I will reconsider it when I wear my 1er out and get tired of buying tires for its heavy ass at the track.

When I was looking though, I ended up buying my 09' 135i w/ 71k on the clock Arizona car.....for 12k. I could barely buy a 200k beat to shit S2k for that. lol It's ridiculous the value they keep.
