There is a way a service advisor can recieve info on the car for u. It will only have the date it visited a dealership, the mileage and what dealership. You would then call the dealerships and ask what was carried out.

Had to do this the other week , customer bought in his e92 M3, just bought the car and wanted the history along with a healtg check. To his & my surprise, the car visited a dealer in january 2011 with 67k on the clock, the car sitting on my ramp was showing 34k! Oopsie its been clocked....

Try that, maybe better than £1 a min!

I use that system to check where cars have been along with any warranty repairs that a car may have had.

Most dealers i have had dealing with are reluctant to give out that info and usually direct joe public to the £1 a min number.

Assuming this line is 0870 5050 160?

If so... Free number for it is 0800 777113

But I have a feeling it might not be... Worth a try to get around £1 a minute

01344 is the bracknell area code. So it must work

Fingers crossed it saves a few quid then as I'm guessing its not a quick phone call

I thought the BMW Vehicle Information line was 0906 209 0001.

How did you get those different phone numbers above?

Ouch.

Was it an early E92 M3?

Did he not check the history before buying or get it at an auction or something?

Yep i ring the BMW UK number for information on service history/mileages/dates/where it has been/any warranty recalls/warranty etc etc etc then ring the Individual BMW Dealers for further information.

However, i find the Individual BMW Dealers can be reluctant to give out further information other than dates/mileages/briefly what it had done i.e. they just mention one word eg oil service but i want to know everything been changed or bushes etc.

Some of the BMW people are a right pain in the arse who should be told to F*** off and work somewhere else if they dont like to help BMW Customers.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Quick google search for the first number then a helpful website to get round expensive numbers.

0906 209 0001 - I cant find anything for And thats charged at £1 a minute so I assume that is the number the other person was referring too.

I was looking at a E46 coupe for the missus, I got the VIN number and rang the supplying dealer - Farringdons iirc, and they told me everything about the car from the PDI to it's last service, I cross referenced them details to the SH and it was spot on.

The seller was confused as how I knew the service history details before I even saw the car

They were happy to help.
