Few questions before purchasing a used F30 2014 320i

[vanan78]

Dear friends,

I am planning to buy a 2014 F30 320i from a local 2nd hand dealer.
So far I checked the service history from Wheelcorp and Ingress Auto and they inform me there is no major issue with the car but only a small problem whereby the previous owner complaint about gear box jerking.
However, Wheelcorp said that the gearbox issue has been settled with a remapping of the ECU. Just have few questions here:

1) Is it true that the gearbox jerking can be a ECU remapping issue?
2)Any other advice to lookout for in the car during my test drive?
3) Why the service records from BMW is not in booklet form but from system?
Is these a common practice or the dealer is not telling the truth?
4)Additionally, can anyone share the contact of a mechanic/BMW service shop to inspect the car before I put my downpayment.
I dont mind to pay extra on these just to have a peace of mind.

Thanks bros.

Bro,
FYI you can get 2015 Pre Owned (0 Mileage) from Quill going at around RM210K.
You may be paying a little more but you will have piece of mind as it has a 5yr warranty and free service.a
You might be able to squeeze them for more if you are looking at Pre LCI models
My 2 cents

Thanks for the suggestion bro but I have a car to trade in and Quill not offering the good deal. All sum up exceeding my budget.

What is your budget Vanan? Perhaps with your budget you can get a pre reg. Most dealers do trade in anyway for your old car.
