On BimmerForums we always compete for highest mileage. My E36 is almost exactly at the quoted mark and still kicking strong.

1998 C43 124k miles and still runs like new. Today on a closed road I broke 140mph and its was still climbing but I don't know the car well enough to push it much past there. After noticing a slight rattle up front tonight in the parking garage, it will be my last high speed run until spring. Amazing car!!!

I have searched for this car for about 5 years, I used to own a 99 but just had to have a 2000 never gave up and found this gem June 2010 .
Tiptronic is much different than the 99, I like it way more than the manual shift
it is so much faster and easier, for some reason this car is to smooth.
Here are the upgrades I have done.
Euro springs OEM. rides the same just lower ordered from dealer.
SLK 55 front 6 piston calipers 355MM brembo 2piece rotors no mods direct bolt on only the backing plate had to be cut custom brackets needed to made.
SLK 55 rear 4 piston calipers and slk 55 330MM OEM rotors again only the backing plate had to be cut to fit the larger calipers.
Transmission flush and harness seal replaced.
motor mounts just a precaution.
Harmonic balancer THIS WAS A RECALL BUT I DID IT NOT SURE IT WAS DONE BEFORE.
AMG luminated door sills with custom carbon fiber plates instead of the stainless steel .
Wheels will be I Forged aero 18x8 and 18x9 not sure of the offset Iforged never made a set for a W202 with 6 piston calipers.
Next project wiil be 5.5 port and polished .
not sure how to post pics.

If you are talking NZ$ I consider that an excellent deal. If it wasn't on the other side of the world, I could be considering a buy, as less than what I paid for my 99' with 200k kms.
Question: Is it RHD or LHD?

got my 99 c43 back almost 10 years ago. I now have 47k miles on it. I only drive it about 1500 miles a year, that number will go down when i buy new car next year.

I don't know how you can restrain yourself from driving your C43 ESPECIALLY since you have 430+ RWHP!!!!
