Service history value

On that basis it should have had an oil service every two years as a minimum. If you get it I’d put it through an inspection 2 as it’s at 13-16 years old. Mine does a couple of k per year so very similar usage. I have oil service every 2 years and inspection 2 every 8 years. So basically I have an inspection 2 service every 16k ish which is just over the mileage between one service interval.
Service history is pretty much meaningless other than helping you to sell it on in the future. It could have full history but still be a complete wreck, and vice versa.
As above, get an inspection and buy on condition. You can also try contacting BMW who may have additional records of services - I once bought a Golf with no history and sold it on with genuine full VW service history, you don't need to rely on a book these days. What story is there for no history? Does it seem plausible? Should be able to get it cheaper without the history too
