Probably a 3 year lease that was traded in early towards something else (happens more than you think... but costs $$$)

I was worried it might be some kind of assist to get out of a problem car... |

It could be that too, no way to know for sure other than to ask. BMW has a “trade assist” program to help dealers do that for cars that don’t meet lemon law criteria. If it is a trade assist car they have to disclose that to you though - required to do so by BMW. But that’s different than a case when someone just gets rid of it on their own because they were annoyed/frustrated/hated it.

I mean, I think racking up a bunch of miles in a year is at least in tension with the idea that they had a lot of problems and hated it, though I guess it’s not impossible.

The 2019 Cayman I bought was 6 months old with 1,200 miles .. the car looked and smelled brand new ... Don’t judge the time someone owned it, just have it checked out by a 3rd party, there are plenty of them nowadays as buying a car site unseen is not uncommon. I wouldn’t recommend a local shop as they only repair cars, I would recommend a business that all they do is car inspections ... these guy over analyze a car which is a good thing. |

Updates: The white 3 wagon in Ohio has sold. Not surprising. The 2019 X3 40i here is nicely optioned, has MSport and Adaptive Suspension, but not the M diff. All things considered, I’d rather have the M diff over the Adaptive Suspension, as the default for the X3 M40i is MSport suspension... |
