e39 kilometre reading

[Raybimmer]

Guys if an e39 is for sale how do I know if the kilos are genuine ( if no service history ) ? Can the clocks be swopped for one with a lower reading ? Have seen recalibrator advertised on gumtree !!:cursin:

Get the VIN and go to a BMW dealer. Depending on when the last visit was at a dealership, you should be able to get some useful info.

clocks can be swapped, cars can be coded... you have no clue...

There are tell tale signs, wear, bla bla bla

distance is also stored in several modules, not just the cluster, but you can fool that as well...

Raybimmer, I see you are also in East London

I have all the computers for the bmw's .. I can check for you if the mileage has been turned back or not

anyone selling shouldn't have any issues with someone coming to connect diagnostic equipment to make sure it hasn't been tampered with

btw what section of East London are you from ?
