M2 break-in oil and filter change question

I have tried to search everywhere but cannot find the manual or maintenance manual that says there is a required oil and filter change at 1200 miles.


I am looking at 2017 M2 that have 4k miles on it, what is best way to find out if it was performed, doesnt show up on any of the used M2 with a carfax, hard to believe it doesnt show up


Really need some help and yes I have googled a bunch of times. Need to either make down payment on monday or look at potential car will sell to someone else. Would like to know more history. Car is not at a BMW dealership.


TIA

The 1200 mile service is more than an oil and filter change. The differential fluid is also changed. Any BMW dealer should be able to pull up the maintenance record by the BMW vin number.

If the 1200 mile service wasn’t done, walk away.

I also would get a pre purchase inspection.

And you did not try to search everywhere cause this type of question has been beaten to death in these boards.

Check the iDrive. Every service done should be listed there.

Why do these things always get off-topic for a valid question that I searched for since 11/22/1028
