I read on this site that dealers can do a Pre-sale Inspection and they cost in the vicinity of $200. Using the VIN, dealers can also provide you with a maintenance history on the car; but, you may have to try and convince the dealer to reveal it.
I know of cars being sold, sight unseen, where the seller, prior to the sale, of course, agrees to take it to the dealer for just such an inspection and agrees the sale hinges on the the inspection results.

I have already spoken with my local dealer many times regarding other BMW's, and they have been very helpful regarding maintenance histories. The ASE certified professionals usually charge between $150 and $200 for a "450-point inspection."
