Does this M3 Carfax raise red flags?

So it seems this 2016 m3 has not been consistent with any owner. Seems like it was passed around to quite a few dealerships. Clean carfax otherwise. 1st owner at 400 miles had the DCT replaced due to it not locking in park. Vehicle is also listed at 6k under "retail value". Would this concern you and/or steer you away. BTW it is still under warranty until 03/2020.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Carfax gives you a decent idea of accident history but thats about it. I have traded vehicles with a "Clean" Carfax where I just had the repairs done with out getting insurance involved. I have also had some of my Carfax's show multiple owners where I just changed addresses. Have a PPI done if you are truly concerned

That is one scary looking carfax. If correct, I would not buy. That thing has been everywhere.

Talk about a nationwide tour in just 25k miles. Doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with the car, the Carfax doesn't show anything derogatory, but it would bug me that I was the FOURTH owner on a car like this.

This car has been ridden hard and hung up to dry many times over. Why risk it when there are 1000s of other used M3s for sale? Find another M3.

How do you know? I agree there are many other cars to choose from but you're just making that up.
