You're right, it would be difficult; but only if BMW can prove that the lack of service is the cause of the failure (which they probably could).

The first thing I do when looking at used vehicles (and the OP should have done) is ask for service records. At bare minimum, so the OP could one day furnish them when he/she tries to sell the X3 to someone else (who may take less comfort in the fact that a fleet car is *almost certainly* properly maintained).

The OP is in a pickle here- my point was more that he should spend his efforts plying the seller, not BMW.
