Suspect service history- please help!
Discussion
Hi
I just bought a BMW 330 sport convertible VA02 RYY I have since reason to question the service history. Is there anyone out there who can supply the service history? I've tried ringing BMW uk at £1 a minute but all day it said operators busy on other calls and cut me off which I assume I still get charged for???
Please help :-)
Thanks
Matt

Hi,
If you ring that number they will be able to tell you when and where the car was serviced but not much more. They might be able to tell you if there is an advisory or warning (I'm not sure as my car was clean!)
Once you have that information you can ring the dealer who, in my experience with a similar issue, can tell you when the car was serviced. One dealer were happy to tell me anything I wanted about the vehicle with the owners permission and have offered me copy invoices. The other has been a little more coy but still told me when the car had been with them and which service was performed.

hi op.
I checked this car today on the mainframe at work, but have actually forgot my findings.. sorry! will double check tomorrow.
if it is the one i remember... it wasn't coming up on that number plate so i had to go through hpi to get the chassis number. It's coming up on one of the cars private number plates of past (7LV or something similar).. i remember seeing it was a 7 owner car, but as i say, let me check the mileages recorded tmr and i'll give you an update!

7 owners would be setting my alarm bells off already 
Especially as thats 7 previous and he's only just bought it so it's presumably not updated yet so in theory he is the 9th owner?
it was showing as 6 previous owners, with date of current owner starting sometime 01/2012... so i think he's the 7th owner... unless the chap in Jan only bought it for a few weeks in which case he's the 8thEspecially as thats 7 previous and he's only just bought it so it's presumably not updated yet so in theory he is the 9th owner?
