BMW F-series: how to check real mileage?

[riek]

Does anyone know how to check real mileage for BMW F-series (or E-series)?
Currently looking one 2009 530d GT (F07) but also good to know how to do it for E-series.

Which modules should have this info and how to read - which cable & software?

My thoughts:
* Key - key is having mileage, but is it just taken from dashboard and no history then?
* LCM - some say that DTCs of LCM shows the mileage (but for E-series it "didn't work" via ISTA - I had same number "524280" for multiple E60s)
* DPF history - is it useful, can it be looked through ISTA?
* ...any more ideas? what to read or on what based to calculate actual mileage?

Ecu should have milleage

mileage can be stored pretty much in every control module, this is a little different from model to model. E series it can be stored up to 6 times in one control module like CAS for example.
cas will have milage stored: errors, AIF, module, and module history 3 times
every other module should be: errors, AIF, module.
ECU will have also battery registrations and hours

Thanks, but can you give some examples how to read this kind of info out from these modules?

You can't check mileage with those tools......

[riek]

What are the right tools then?

[dashtool2016]

it seems that you can only check all the mileage modules with bmw explorer but I am also confused and I want to start full with bmw to see if anyone can help us: D

can check with bmw icom next clone all modules with ista-p ??? And is it possible to reset modules so that they acquire the new value of the kilometers of the board?

[nickolasd]

if i remember correctly with ista-d you can see final report and milage in every module.
yes every module can be reset with special tools such as autohex2 or avdi
