The first thing I would do is have the battery load tested. A good voltage readout alone doesn't necessarily indicate the battery is ok.

If the battery tests good it sounds like you need to take the car to a mechanic that knows BMW's. Also, as mentioned already, think hard about getting an oil change if you're not sure it was done recently.
Couldn't agree with you more!!

Get your battery load tested. Get an oil change since you have no idea IF it was really done or not. Fresh oil is the best oil!!
