Should I do maintenance @ BMW or should I find a car maintenance history?

I would assume the previous owner only did the standard BMW maintenance (not enough if you want the car to last).

If it was me, I would find a good independent BMW shop to do the work or do it all myself.

Well, I wish to do it myself but it is 5 F outside and soon will be -31 F

Holy frozen testicles... Forgot you were up in the great north. In that case, indy shop with a well heated and insulated customer service area FTW!

Most people's biggest concern when doing a DIY is scraping a knuckle... You'd have to be concerned about Stage 3 Hypothermia....
