Mileage first.
In the limit, as mileage tends to 0, ... car tends to new.
Maintenance history doesn't really tell you anything: a new Z4 hardly needs any maintenance anyway - basically 1 oil change until 20000km. Everybody does that, so it tells you nothing. The real kind of care and maintenance that matters - how it is driven, where it is garaged (or not), what petrol is used, how it is cleaned (and how often), what accidents it has been in ... all these things you have no control over. Under the circumstances, a stamp in a BMW service booklet ... which basically every car has anyway ... is a largely misleading creditation of nothingness. It might be more relevant on an older car with high mileage ... where wear becomes an issue ... but on a low mileage car it means very little. Which is precisely the point --> mileage itself is the most credible indicator of how much the car has been used.
