Z4 M Coupe - Service history question

[breakfan]

Hi team

This may appear dead obvious, but how does a prospective buyer check a Z4MC's service record? I am told this information is stored digitally in the key - but is there no service book with the relevant stamps in it?

I would also be delighted to hear any specific tips before buying this car... I've read the forums and the buying guides, but any additional info is welcome.

My dad and I are planning to go halves on one, and we've found what appears to be a great candidate.

Cheers

Thanks for your quick replies

We actually live in France, and the car we're looking at is for sale in Italy, so visiting dealers etc is not so easy
