Hi

Call BMW on 0906 209 0001 and you will get a run down of the spec and the services that were carried out within the BMW network - i.e. which dealer and the mileage. They do not store the details of what was done, so they will give you the phone numbers of the dealer(s) and then you can call to verify.

Good luck!
