Impossible to predict the condition of any used car that may turn up in your mkt, imo...
I would think that most BMWs or any brand of car, are simply driven and giving a minimal amount of maintenance attention, especially if they are leased.

Lease is up 3 yrs later, or oe warranty is gone after 4 yrs: the car is turned in, and either CPO'd for resale through a BMW dlr, or off to auction.

A large percentage of US/CDA drivers are simply buying/leasing a car and driving it, with some repair during warranty and maybe an annual oil change.
The interest level of 'cars', maintenance, repair and upkeep in general, is not as high as what one might glean from the enthusiasts on this or any car board, imo.

A 'California car' may or may not be any better than a car from Ohio or Colorado or Alabama or...a thorough PPI is still recommended, imo.
