10 tips: Nab odometer roll-back scammers
 http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/03/auto...back/index.htm #1 Look for loose screws or scratch marks around the dashboard. (Also look for fingerprints on the inside of the instrument panel's clear cover, advises Sanchez of Kelley Blue Book.) #2 If the vehicle has an analog odometer, as opposed to newer digital readouts, check that the numbers are lined up straight. Pay special attention the 10,0000 digit. #3 When test driving the car, notice if the speedometer sticks. #4 Look for service stickers inside the door or under the hood that may give the actual mileage. #5 Look in the owner's manual to see if there is a maintenance record there. Or see if pages that may have contained a maintenance record have been removed. #6 If you are buying the car from a dealer, ask if a computer check has been done to look for warranty records. #7 Ask to see the official title document. Look at it carefully to see if the mileage on the document has been altered. #8 Look at the date the title was issued. Be suspicious if the vehicle is being sold shortly after the title was issued. A new title could have been issued simply to hide a mileage alteration. #9 Look for signs of wear in "high touch" areas like the steering wheel, arm rests and pedals. Also, if any of these items looks brand new, as if it had been recently replaced, that may indicate an attempt to hide the vehicle's real age. #10 Have a mechanic of your choosing inspect the vehicle. As part of that inspection, he should look for signs of tampering.

This guy I know stopped his M3 from counting (I think it is a 98?). All he did was disconnect something from the bottom of the car. There is a wire and he just yanked it out.
It's been disconnected for like 3 years now. I believe you could only do it with that year M3.
