Is there anyway one could alter the mileage displayed on a BMW car? Just want to know if I could trust the mileage displayed on a second hand BMW or could it have been altered.

What model and model year? Electronic odometers have their data stored elsewhere, and, on an E39, there is a small LED that lights up to show that the mileage has been tampered with.

A BMW dealer can read the actual mileage for you.
