Is there a way to learn how both cars were driven and maintenance history? I'd say these two factors are even more important than the engines.

I looked at the autocheck for 340I and it doesn't show any maintenance records, dealer said the car serviced by the owner. But the dealer of the 435 said it was their manager's son's car. So I guess 435 would have been driven hard, it was averaging 19k miles per year. I have a test drive booked for tomorrow for the 340I, I'll see if they will allow me to take it to a mechanic to inspect it.
