KBB on it is $32.5-35.5k.

The carfax shows only 6 oil changes and two spark plug changes. Plus I don't see the break in service? Luckily the dealer selling the car is also the dealer where it was bought and serviced during the PO's ownership. I'm hoping they have more service records.
Yikes. If RIS was never recorded, or if there's no proof of it ever being done, then I wouldn't bother with this car. Although, my biggest concern would be the clutch at this point. The factory F80 brakes should last between 60-90k miles if driven moderately on the highway.

I would definitely have a BMW specialist shop do a proper PPI before even thinking about making an offer. If the dealer isn't willing to let you do this, then move on.
