When evaluating the Carfax data, why are there odometer readings at 12, 13 and 45 ? I wouldn't expect that miles are recorded for each test drive.

Are we to assume a paper trail exists for these repairs ? How would I go about obtaining this information. Is this something we should place in the lap of the BMW representative ?

TIA
Carfax data is not really reliable in this circumstance. The repair facility, Auto Nation or others would need to be participants in the data feed to Carfax. The repairing dealer or shop would have had to be a participant. Also not sure how long it takes from the work being done until posting in Carfax.

Bottom line is there is no question this was repaired post factory. If at dealer, there would have to be a record. If at port, there would be a record at BMW.
