REAL Milage??

Is there an easy way to get the REAL milage on a '97 850, or do I have to pay the dealer to do it?

The thread on this matter only worked for models prior to 95, as I understood.

Thanks a lot!!!

Not sure if there is any possibility to recover mileage on 96/97 cars.

According to this, and other, threads looks like you're stuck with the dealer. Guess you could shop other dealers...

From what I read in other threads that's not uncommon...
