How to check car history from AB

[crusher]

If I have the VIN number, how to go about it? Potentially buying the car. Thanks.

just make sure the car was imported/assembled and most importantly sold by AB itself. Btw which model are you looking to buy? AFAIK Most E36s(3 series) and E39s (5 series) were from AB but many E60s were from grey importers/AP holders.

If the car was from AB just call their Glenmarie customer service and just quote the VIN, they should be able to verify the lastest mileage when the car was last in for a service/repairs if any.

Cheers

you cant call and give the VIN, tried that, customer service will ask you to go to AB personally and pass it to a service manager/ advisor.

Alternative, you can use a scanner or diagnostic tool to scan the car.

Below is info from a scan.

Yes I have the BMW Scanner 1.40 and D + Kcan Scanner which use INPA/GT1 program and also BMW Soft 2.0.

Quite helpful tool to do a quick check on the car especially if there is electronic problem and mileage fiddling.
