87,000 miles is not a lot of miles on a BMW engine. It's barely broken in. Of course if it was neglected, that's another matter.
It's usually a better bet to buy a used BMW from a BMW dealer because they a reputation to maintain. Buy a used Ford from a Ford dealer ..etc...
To your point about keeping it. I would try to trade it or sell it as is to a mechanic? Mechanics have the time to work on it at their leisure.
Good luck.
