If you tell me you have a 20 year old car with 200,000 miles on it, I’m still going to say it has a a lot of miles on it. 200,000 miles is a lot. Just because you averaged 10,000 miles a year doesn’t change anything.

This is a 135i we're talking about, not some high end exotic that only comes out if there's a full moon and no chance of precipitation forecast within a 200 mile radius for the next three days. Apparently, the automotive valuation authorities don't subscribe to this idea that a 135i should see only 5k a year, or else they'd be dinging the value on an '09 135i if it had over ~45k on it. But they're not. They're adding value to it, since it's low in their eyes at 110k. Sure, I could see your point on a 1M, since it's super US limited, in demand, and more of a true sports car, but not with a 135i.
