UPDATE.

Chesterfield BMW not so helfull they won't send me anything due to data protection
Well I said can't you just copy the info and delete the address

Waiting for a call back from a supervisor

The dectetive work goes on............

I find it strange that anything that involves a bit of work on their part, company's quote "date protection" but they've got no qualms about selling on our contact details to all and sundry.

Totally agree!! If it don't make them money they don't want to know
BMW HULL never quoted "data protection"
But Chesterfield did
I won't give up!!

To be fair this is a cost to their business to help and therefore they are under no need to do it. Hopefully they will as its the right thing to do.

 

[BMBabe]

Happy days

Look what came in the post today

 

[Shelly]

Well done @BMBabe

New engine at 31k miles, wonder if it was a warranty job, would have been a big bill otherwise!

Shame I don't have invoices but apparently the owner made a part payment for the change

 

[BMBabe]

Really excited I have just called Stratstone Chesterfield and my new service book has arrived
They said they will get it stamped up with the two services they did and send information on works carried out at their dealership
Detective BMBabe is still on the hunt for more info

 

[Grumps]

Excellent news mate. Well worth having. Just show's a bit of paticence sometimes pays off.

 

[oldcarman]

Such good news Stacey!! Keep on the case girl nothing will elude you!! JIM

 

[BMBabe]

[t-tony]

£10000 worth of bills there. That car had had some serious pennies spent on it.

All the more reason to keep a record then, I would've thought ? Maybe it's history has been lost over the years but seems strange.

It's good that he didn't because the price would of been higher

 

[t-tony]

Fair point, you would've though that someone in the car's past would have receipts for that amount of work. Either way all the better for you.

Tony.

 

[Grumps]

I keep every receipt even for the smallest of things. It's all relevant to a cars life and always of interest to the next owner. I love reading stuff when I've bought a new car. Does that sound sad lol?

 

[oldcarman]

Yes @Grumpy but I'm the same unfortunately most people over here don't bother keeping receipts so little history and all I got with my UK purchased z3 was the V5!! JIM
