Car History (Australia) - USA Carfax equivalent?

Hi all,
Have been researching these cars extensively and looking into purchasing an E9x M3 at some point in the future, and given the high (and costly) maintenance on these cars, do we have something here in Australia similar to the USA's Carfax, where you can get extensive service history?

I've looked at a couple M3's already, but apart from the service book, there are typically no service receipts (or only a small percentage) for specific details on maintenance history & items replaced etc to get a really good idea of how the car has been looked after (or not).

TIA

I should say I tried the VicRoads Vehicle Report for one M3 in Victoria (as it seemed that it was pretty detailed)....but it was next to useless and didn't have the detailed history it claimed.

I used Carvertical report to find any red flags for cars I was seriously considering, but it didn't have service history.
When I finally landed on the car I wanted to purchase, I had a mobile inspection done....but even that was average.

Thanks Ichiro, never heard of CarVertical so might give them a go....how did you find their report content for Australian-based cars?

If I find a car / price / history that seems to line up will definitely be getting an inspection done at a euro independent ideally so they can get it up on a hoist...just want to get some peace of mind before taking that step, no luck so far.

There are a few YouTubers like Matt Armstrong etc that are sponsored by CarVertical, they typically have discount codes for using CarVertical, so might be worth getting the discount codes from their YouTube clips if your going to use CarVertical, no need to pay more than you need to.

This is what I was going to type up. I think I used one from Tavarish's channel.
I bought a 3-pack >> 3 reports. I used them up pretty quickly. The report is a combination of anything it can find from all the various databases it can access. I remember it came with PPSR ( or equivalent) as well.

Make sure inspections are carried out at cold start to look for any hesitations, misfires, smoke etc. (ideally the car hasn't been started overnight)
