Now I have a few more questions about the vehicle. The one I want to purchase, has about 136k on it and is sitting on coilovers. I was told these vehicles don't really last too long with the mileage(may not even reach 200-250k). Is this true or false? What are the steps to ensure it reaches a long life? My other question is...I've heard of softwares or tuners that can regulate gas mileage for these vehicles(meaning not making them burn so much fuel) but obviously less horse power. Is this true or false? Any feed back is gladly appreciated!!

As per millage honestly from what I have heard as long as you take care of the car they last a long time. Mines got 30K+ more miles than yours and besides the issues above (which again are really just normal wear and tear) there hasn't been any MAJOR issues (tranny or engine issues). Now since yours had the conversion kit done to it you wont have to worry about the air ride suspensions which is nice. Personally? Before buying it take it to a indy shop and have it just quickly looked at preferably one that has a BMW code reader who can read any weird codes coming off the vehicle.
On the gas millage thing, I honestly have no idea but to be honest if you're worried about gas millage you're looking at the wrong car. Go with the 3.0 haha.
