Zed owners tend to split into those keeping them 4-5 years + and others who move on, often within a year..so 6 owners in 11-12 years is not unusal...IMHO
At that age it can be so many other factors..a BMW service history at that age is pretty poor comfort IMHO

They do seem to change hands quite often.
My first one had 3 previous keepers when I bought it at 8 years old, next one had 5 previous keepers in 10 years and current one had 7 in 13 years which is pretty much in line with what B21 said.

When I bought my car (2019) I did a fair bit of research on every car that caught my attention. Nearly all had more owners than I'd have wished for a 'regular' car. Typically each user was adding just 1500 miles before moving it on. Yet almost all had incredibly low mileages for their age too. Given that my highly regarded indy (RBM Hampshire) reckons that an annual oil change regardless of mileage is worthwhile AND the BMW service indicator system doesnt nag low mileage users' I'd be more inclined to worry about whether it got a service every year than whether it changed hands every year.

This is very true but sadly I think most owners aren’t enthusiasts and follow BMW’s recommended servicing schedule (because why wouldn’t you as you’d expect BMW to know what they are talking about) according to the dash readout which means almost every example out there will not have had annual oil changes.
