I'm glad the dealer actually was honest to you. Most others, given how far the purchase process had gone, would just say everything has been sorted out and some softwares required updates.

Also, there is a very specific sequence you have to do to the steering wheel stalks to activate odometer stoppers. It's extremely rare for someone to trigger that randomly as I'm assuming that was what happened. Cheap ones will cut out your engine rpm and speed, but more expensive ones can cut out only your odometer reading so you don't even know it's running without driving the car a good distance. BMW ECU records engine HRs as well so comparing that to distance driven can help spot out cars with odometer stoppers
