How to check mileage is authentic

[tcornelio]

Hi All,

I just sold my 2005 X5 and will be buying a 2004 BMW X5 E53 3.0D on Thursday. The mileage on the odometer reads 67,000km which is quite low.

How can i check that this is authentic? I have the cable and software from BMW OBD USB Diagnostic Fault Code Cable - This Lead allows full Coding, Programming and Diagnostics for your BMW which includes INPA, DIS, SSS Progman, NCS Expert, WinKPF, Navcoder etc.

My question is can i use any of these programs to check that the mileage is genuine? If so which one?

Or is it possible to determine from the hidden menu on the car?

Thanks for your help, i just want to make sure the mileage has not been tampered with before committing to buy.
