After talking to the Mrs about what I need, have decided to go in a different direction car wise - m140i (along with some budget creep).

Have driven the 135 and 140 now and have decided to go 140 with the auto box.

This car looks attractive, but there seems to be very little mileage between the first couple of services (pre lockdown). Am I just being paranoid:

It's had 2 owners and it just looks like the first owner didn't do many miles. Nothing to worry about, imo.

Before you part with any money I'd run a vcheck. It's peanuts and vcheck can be very good.

Can you speak to the servicing BMW dealers?

3,000miles in the first 3 years?!

This was the bit that made me wonder if someone had got it as a lease or PCP and messed with the mileage.

Low miles I get, it's the very low mileage as a brand new car that I find curious and concerned about a possible blocker being used. Would V check actually pick this up,? ran one for a different car and very little came up regarding service history.
