BmW approved cars service history

[2.5pi]

Should they have a FSH as per the service booklet , BMW website is no help grrr

Thxfor any help

[mmm-five]

They should, but dealers tend to be 'flexible' with their AUC checks, and I've seen cars with tyres on/below the wear bars, mixed tyres on axles (including non-approved tyres), missing running in services, etc.

In terms of a FSH yes, Full BMW Service History, then no. As long as the car has been serviced in accordance with BMW guidelines ie either on time or mileage then its fine. If there are some independent stamps in there then its fine, I would be wary of one saying Bobs Garage and no number or address on the stamp (in which case the service cant be checked and therefore not guaranteed and shouldn't be retailed).

Should definately be FSH but not necessarily FBMWSH.

Given the premium you pay for an AUC personally I would want FBMWSH, decent tyres etc and anything else I didn't like the look of sorted, regardless of whatever BMW feel is acceptable. You are the customer, if you don't like what you are looking at take your business elsewhere.

IMO, there is no added value in an AUC car.

Inquired about a Z4 Coupe the other day and found out it had missed its 1st service by 12 months! Only first serviced after 3 years instead of 2 years, seemingly the previous owner followed the mileage indicator on the car and didnt know about the 2 year max time scale.
