I wouldn't be overly concerned about the mileage if the price is right, but it will need maintenance and probably a good bit of it. I would highly recommend a PPI if you're interested in the car.
N52's, as you know, are reliable but these cars seem to have a "lifespan" of about 75-90k on many of the components, meaning a well maintained 100k mile car will be very refreshed but if someone has been putting stuff off, it will likely need a bit of work.
Things it will likely need catching up on are:
- Shocks/struts
- Control arms
- VCG
- OFHG
- RMS
- Then just the usual stuff any car would be due for, like oxygen sensors, all fluids replaced, etc.
If the car checks out well and the price is right, buy with confidence.

I just inherited my sisters 2006 E90 with 129k miles and addressed every item on this list except for RMS and oxygen sensors *sigh*
Parts and labor came out to about $3,000-and thats with a labor hook up
That car will have some issues that need to be addressed so get a PPI and know what you're getting yourself into.
