I was thinking that about the boat manifests, too.
I haven't had a chance, but I do have a good contact at my local dealership who has happily pulled up service records for me before.
I'm currently trying to backtrack the VIN to the date of auction and find out who took the car to auction. My thinking is that with that mileage, a BMW dealership would almost certainly have CPO'd it and put it on the lot for sale rather than sending it to auction.
Need to talk to the seller tomorrow and find out why his story doesn't jive with the Carfax, then based upon his "explanation", I can determine if it's worth it to me to bother my contact at the $tealer to run a BMW records check.
