Surely there is a mistake in the blurb - as it reads that there was a 5 year gap in servicing until this year?

Hi, I am currently waiting for someone to figure out a problem with the computer system at the garage to retrieve some missing records
Basically when I removed the personal reg from the Alpina and put it on another vehicle , the records became associated with the other vehicle. All a bit confusing but hopefully will be sorted out early next week.
That having said , I believe there’s just a couple of small services to add because of the low mileage from 2020 (around 6500miles) to present, carried out as advised on the cars system computer.

Lovely car. Just to clarify, does it have a full service history? Is a service due on it now due to lack of use recently? Many thanks.

Thank you, it’s been great to own. Only reason we’re selling it is because we sold our house in France a couple of years ago and just don’t have the use for it it any more.
I have always followed the service advisories as they’ve appeared on the dashboard ( it gives a countdown from 3500 miles to due as i recall). I’m afraid I didn’t do the ‘annual, no matter what the mileage’ regime , so I guess it comes down to what is regarded as a ‘full’ service history .
The Alpina has just recently had a service along with mot at the end of July , also an AC service and regas.
We took it up to the annual pistonheads event last Saturday which was the longest journey it had had in a while and everything was working exactly as it should and drove just as well as I remembered.

Hi,
I asked to view the car through the the website is there any chance to come and see the car?
Has the car been smoked in - during your ownership?
Could you let me know the road tax - is it now £760?
No accidents?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex , were you coming from Winchester? If so I replied yesterday evening… sorry if it didn’t get to you.
Tuesday afternoon will be fine but I won’t be back home until 2.30 pm , would that be ok with you ?

Hi. Any rust around the tops of the doors, common with this era of 5 Series? Any close up pictures of around the tops of the doors below the window line would be brilliant. Also any update on service history? Thanks
