Looking at Buying a 2014 50i

I'm looking at a fully loaded 50i with 120k miles. Not too familiar with the platform and wondering if I should even consider getting something with that high miles. Dealer is ok with me getting a PPP done and is offering me a 3 year 36k mile Endurance warranty for 4500. I would definitely prefer a lower mileage version so I don't have to think too much about warranty but I can't find anything with all these options unless I get an x5M

We had a similar issue when shopping for our diesel. Took a year to find options we wanted at a price we wanted. 120k is up there for the twin turbo v8's. I believe they are known for bearing wear like so many of their "s" motor cousins. 2014 is first run year too. Risky. Good luck in your search/purchase.

Thanks I'm seeing prices all over the place. Even if warranty covers everything I don't want a headache so I think I'm going to try and be patient and look for a lower mileage example.
