Hi. Have you just taken a private plate off the car? If so please share what it was. The current reg is not being recognised for my searches. Thanks
Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs, but Alpinas of that era return all sorts from the reg plate, mine used to return either an X5 or a 7 series depending on whose system was the back end of the parts finder web site. You need the Alpina chassis number visible here https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/20843530. Again, apologies if you already know this. Please could you photograph the complete service history shown in the iDrive, including every service entry from first registration to present, showing dates and mileages? Could you also provide photos of any invoices/service documentation covering 2020–2023? I'm specifically trying to establish the servicing carried out before the November 2024 service at 46,558 miles.
Hi
The car is in a warehouse and i am not there until tomorrow. Its a bit late in the day for asking this question with hours only left of the auction. However, i can assure you that the car was purchased from new from BMW Group 1 Borehamwood, then traded in for a Tourer version and that's where i purchased the car from myself. It has had all its services done on time from the same dealership. I hope this helps, please remember this is the last year that the saloon model was made and if looked after the car will only go up in value. The only reason i am selling is that i have just purchased a 635CSI Highline and i have several other classic BMW and need the room. If you are the top bidder and get to see the car you will be a very happy owner indeed !
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify before bidding, when you say all servicing was carried out on time by the same BMW dealership, is this supported by the BMW digital service record and/or invoices? That is all any buyer will go off.
Are you able to confirm the dates and mileages of the services that appear to be missing from the documentation shown in the auction?
I appreciate you're not with the car today, but if I were successful, would you be happy for the sale/collection to be subject to the BMW service history confirming those services were carried out as stated either on time or mileage whatever came 1st?
Thanks — just trying to establish whether this is simply missing paperwork or an actual gap in the service history.
