OoPEZoO Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Anyone know if BMW will release the maintenance history of a bike? I assume they track this info by the VIN#, but I wasn't sure if they tracked and/or shared this info from dealership to dealership. Anyone know any details of their policy? Link to comment
Rich06FJR1300 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 i know when my dealer closed they give you a folder of all the repairs done to my bike (02 RT) Link to comment
duckbubbles Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Go to your local BMW bike dealer. With the VIN they can go online and see what service was done, at what mileage, and by whom- if it was done at another BMW dealer. If an individual did his own maintenance, you'll just have to take his word, or not. I had them do a track on my R1100S after I bought it and found out where it had been. Confirmed by the previous owner. Frank Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks . I just wasn't sure how stingy they were with records, or if I could get access to records if the work was done at a different dealership. I was going through receipts and updating my log book last night when I thought it would be really nice to have the rest of the info from before I bought the bike. I wasn't so much concerned with general maintenance, I was more interested in if there was any major work done to it by a dealer. There are a few things that need attention on my bike, and I need to start making a game plan for either fixing/upgrading them or start thinking about shopping for a different bike. Those missing records will be part of the equation. Link to comment
duckbubbles Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I have a 22 year history with my local dealer. It was their idea to do the search for me. YMMV Frank Link to comment
