Looking for previous owners of 2013 M5 W/R

[rv40]

Looking for previous owner of 2013 M5, Texas car, but was owned in other states (NJ, CT, FL).
Alpine White/Red interior.
VIN: WBSFV9C52DD096812


I realize it is a long shot but need some more information from the 2nd owner who drove it 04/2016 - 04/2018 (purchased in New York and owned in CT), and the previous (before my time) owner 06/2022 - 09/2024 (Houston, TX)

The second owner got lucky (and wise to have a BMW service contract), looks like BMW of Ridgefield (CT) had the engine replaced back in June-2016. I called the dealer but they could not provide more details than I have from the Carfax. I'd like to know what engine was put in, what mileage was the donor engine or was it a brand new engine. And of course I am curios what went wrong back then.

From the Houston' owner I wanted to see what was the story with SRS system (driver restraint system malfunction), looks like he/she tried to do some repair on driver seat (famous workaround with 2 Ohm resistor) but there is still some work to do, puzzled what parts I need to replace or where else to look. I have no warranty but I am a DYI type of owners. And not going to blame anyone either

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
V.

I tried too, no luck. I've had 3 different indy shops tell me they believe the engine has been out of mine but Carfax doesn't tell me anything.
