Background check on BMW

[davejones]

Looking at a BMW with FSH (although havent seen the book), I have it's full motorplan history from BMW which ended in 2004.

Apparently serviced at BMW since motorplan ended, from 2005 until now. Car is low mileage <110,000km. If I like it would like to buy on the spot, therefore wanting to do as much work around getting info on it before i see it on the weekend.

ideal would be to take it to BMW to have it checked / diagnostic. Can this be done in relatively short space of time on a weekend? :thinking:

Any tips would be appreciated!

Take the car's VIN to a BMW dealer so that they can print the service record with comments and so on.

Also pm the license plate to Coisman so he can check on the eNatis system.

Thanks Legacy

for my lack of understanding - what would an eNatis check provide? Will it work for a personalized number plate?
