Carfax is absolutly worthless. This will only tell you if a car has been in a major accident. It will only tell you if the major accident was reported. Ergo, its worthless. I do my own work on all my vehicles, so that wouldnt show up on a carfax. You dig?
Thats also a pretty stupid premise for a question. Do us lazy stupid Americans with our capitalistic ways abuse our cars? Is everyone in the middle east a terrorist? in America, lots of Jews tend to own BMW's. Evil Jews who dont get the oil changed regularly. You should probably stay away.
**PS I live in Detroit and have some good Lebanese friends, so take the above in jest. Unless your a terrorist

I posed this on another BMW forum regarding the number of previous owners, but I think it holds true for this car as well and makes sense here.
****
the number of owners is irrelevant. Either the car is in good shape or it isnt. These are at best 7 year old cars and at worst 13.
First owner was original. 2nd was CPO. 3rd was to you if your over 27, and 4th is to you if your under 25. 5th is to the HS kid whos pissed he didn't realized that oil changes cost 100 bucks in this car.
I dont care if 90 people owned the car as long as it was well taken care of. The first owner could treat the car like **** and leave it in worse condition than the condition that the second owner sells it in. and so on and so on. I have sold every car I've ever owned in better shape than when I bought it sans miles.
