Mileage, regular maintenance and visual condition (color combo was a HUGE thing for me as I didn't want black, then I found mine and jumped on it) were my selling points. Good or bad, but mine spent a LOT of time between two BMW dealerships with about 8k of undocumented service before I bought it. Since then I've replaced injectors, the PCV lines, an oil change and gone through lots of gas abusing it :-)
Travis1807 is the only one so far who's in the middle of working on a solution by replacing the plastic lines with Fragola Series 8000 stuff and incorporating catch cans, but this IMHO is a mod for someone who's looking to push their engines to the limit with tune, meth, bigger turbos, etc vs someone who's just DD'ing their car. BMW has upgraded/revised the lines slighty by putting a sheathing over them, but ultimately I'm guessing they're still gonna be 50k wear items that'll cost about $150-$200 in parts and can all be done in a day.
Stock the info I'm guessing can be found in anyone online review like Autotrader, MSN cars, etc.
