Unhappy New Owner- Some Questions

Dear All,

I just got my BMW X5, 2nd hand unfortunately, and after 1 week of purchase I took it to the local authorized dealer and found out that the car's odometer has been tampered with so instead of the actualy mileage reading 35K in reality it reads 100K.

So here's my question for all those that can help, frustration aside, what should be my main concern now?

How can i know if my engine is still in prestine condition or if its damaged in any way? I know my car has for sure never been in an accident through a checkup, but what else is important to inspect?

What are serious/iireversible engine damage types that I should be weary off? The engine so far purrs beautifully but when the car is hot there's a certain way I press the gas and i get a split second of clunking noise before it starts the air intake noise and picking up acceleration? In God's heaven, what could that be?

I appreciate all the advice I can get thank you



Pravda
