Mileage

Previous owner estimated the mileage at 210,000 when the US cluster was replaced. At the time of my purchase, the Euro cluster read354,020km, or 219,977 miles.
The clustercurrentlyreads 380,675km, or ~236,541 miles. This is an average of just under 5,000 miles per year since my ownership. I drive it about once a week, mileage will gradually increase.

If you’re looking for a nice, Euro-converted E28, this may be the car for you.
