Hi, i am in the market for a x4 and one has been for sale for a fairly long time (well loads have - but dealers are not budging on price).
Is there a way or can someone on here find out about the service history of a car, I know BMW can do it via the key fob, however I do not own the car and the dealership seems like a small independant dealership - so im cautious.

its a 2018 G02 model

On the I drive select

"My vehicle" then select

"Service requirements" - that will tell you when the next service dates are

There should also be an option to select Service History which will bring up a display like the one above, if you click on / select any of the entries it will tell you what work was done.

The 4 digit is the dealer code, unless its 0000 / 9999 which indicates a service somewhere that can access the BMW system.

Green OK...service done at right date / time interval
Amber - service due
Red - service overdue / outside date / time intervals

your a star, how have you done this?

i dont fully understand what it says, im assuming the red boxes suggest a failure, orange a warning and green is all good?

also, it seems like the mileage has been tampered with as it somehow went backwards - unless im reading wrong?

Red means late/ well overdue. Amber means done within a month or so tolerance. Green means serviced to schedule.


Yes does look like it’s had a haircut. Although could have been mileage entered wrong. Either way it’s going to flag on the NMR when doing a hpi check, and making resale very hard. I would avoid.

Read from key so not likely to have been entered.
