Did you see the BMW service history report? BMW dealers can't even certify cars that have missed their required oil-service interval—for good reason!
Thanks for the feedback, I ran carfax, autocheck, and carvertical against the VIN before I ordered. It looks like it was serviced regularly. Two owners, a lease and then a certified pre owned sale. Really hoping I can get it to last longer than 80k that's rough.
