Under "customer services" on the BMW website is a number which will get you this information.

If any Mods read this, is it worth having a sticky on this subject?

A sticky which advises people to look at the BMW website if they have a BMW dealer network query?

With a car of that age, I'm not sure I'd bother. Especially as the telephone number for service history enquiries is one of those £1 a minute jobbies.

I know what you mean, doesn't make sense but it's asked that much it could avoid countless posts asking the same question.

0906 2090001, it's a premium rate number, £1/min from landline (probably more from a mobile), they will tell you the exact spec of the car and each time it visited a BMW dealer and which one, then ring the dealers in question and find out what they did on that car.

Is there anyway of getting a hard copy of this info?

Wow that's a Mega spec, probably orginally a chauffeur driven company car, especially with the second GSM phone in the rear.

Any photos?

True, but for the OP it's not been serviced for a year so perhaps not so wallet draining as the owner who had the last service would have been wallet raped.

The comfort rear seat option is very rare, I think we do need photos like someone else has also asked!

I have to say that when I wanted info to confirm the Built Spec, and the BMW Servce History I just handed over the key at Rybrook and they gave me a print out. Notwithstanding having been a customer for some time, they're a helpful bunch.

Most BMW main dealers will give you a list of other dealers that have carried out work on that reg (VIN is more helpful to them)
You can then ring those dealers individually and get the exact details from them.

Obviously this only works if its BMWFSH

I did it with my 335i just to check the sellers story.
