Is this 1995 BMW 3 Series a good purchase for £1000?

I've seen a BMW 316i for sale on a 95 reg, asking price £1000. It has a long MOT with a full service history and 122,000 miles on the clock. It looks ok, it's just the miles are a bit high. I've been told that BMWs go for a good 250,000 miles if looked after, so what do you think?

If it's rust free could be okay. At auction it would be half this price.
