Carfax question

Hey 6post,

I'm currently in the market for a 6 gran coupe, and one came along that I really like. However, I have a bit of hesitation after taking a look at the carfax and the maintenance that's been done so far. Can anyone weigh in?

A few things that look weird to me:
-number of oil/filter changes based on mileage/age (7 in 31k miles)
-multiple "battery charging" records (and eventual replacement at 16k)
-front window motor replaced, steering column repaired, sunroom serviced (all under 10k miles)

thanks in advance!!

Looks like it lived its life at dealers. Was not on a charger and/or might have even been a loaner. Bmw maint calls for a battery change every 2 years.

Nothing really looks wrong. If the price is right, get it!

Appreciate your response! It's very tempting, optioned very well, and would mean a flight and a fun drive home...
