Does high mileage bother people? I've been looking at E91 320d BMW but for my budget can only seem to find them with over 100,000 miles on the clock.

What are the engines like on these?

I don't think any amount of miles will kill modern diesel engines.

Driver seat will have been sat in for 100,000 miles though, and the steering wheel will have been worn shiny.
If the price is right, I wouldn't be too concerned about moon miles.

As long as it's been taken care of, it should be fine.

Bear in mind the whole car has done over 100k miles though, so stuff will be getting worn, needing to be replaced.

my e46 is going on 95k and it runs smoother than my mums diesel volvo with 20k on the clock. im sure its pretty much the same engine in the e91 so i'd say dont let the miles worry you if the rest of the car is sound

Buy on condition. I have had some fleet stuff with north of 100k that drive better than something with 60-70.

Some cars sit on the motorway so no wear on clutches and suspension where as some cars get driven through cities where its start stop and plenty of speed humps.

I personally think it will be fine my e90 was on 100k and it felt masively better than the other 100k VAGs I have owned.

A 100k mile Diesel BMW with FBMWSH won't be an issue.

Believe it or not a few years back we got a transit tipper in for welding on the chassis and the mileage was 750.000 miles lol
