I'm trying to track down the dealer that did the running in service on a 2012 BMW. The service book is stamped by "BMW (UK) Limited, dealer number 80211", with what I suspect is an old BMW customer services telephone number under it (a Bracknell number which no longer works). I've phoned BMW UK and they don't have any record of this running in service, and didn't have a clue which dealer number 80211 related to. One dealer I spoke to wondered if it could refer to some kind of central servicing location or factory. I suspect the car was registered to BMW originally, and might be a press car/demo/management car. Any idea where these get serviced, or could it be anywhere??

Cheers

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll try to get in touch with the Thorne VDC. It's on a YC plate. I've already tried the service hotline, they had no record of the service. By the way, there is an 0800 number you can use for that too - 0800 325600. Not sure who did the PDI as I only have photos of the service stamps. This was all on a car I was thinking of purchasing but I think I'll give it a miss.

Thorne VDC refused to help at all as no customer service function there apparently. BMW UK no help either because no record of the service. In fact, they had no record of the first three services, but I managed to trace the 2nd and 3rd.
