35 miles and it was an ordered car which I waited 3 months for. picked it up the day it arrived.
dealer told me that these cars get track test and it was normal for it to have that many miles.

46 miles, of which about 14 driven by myself before I took the car, so something like 30 miles or so when I saw it the first time, so maybe one or two short test drives before me.

Nuked my skepticism, kudos to the factory for track testing all cars. (BMW apparently does not road test similarly--my two new BMW in last decade had 2 and 4 miles on clock, respectively).

BMW does not road test cars, simply because too many are produced, however, it unfortunately this applies to their 'rarer' models too such as the M3, Z8, M5, etc.
i've seen M3s delivered with 1.x miles~.

I had 70 miles when I picked mine up 14 days ago tomorrow. I just parked it in the garage with 2,000 "properly driven" miles. Break-in is over.....and then I heard that we expect snow tomorrow...I had planned the day off for driving. In any case, best and most exciting car I have ever driven.
