To be honest with you, I highly doubt you're going to be getting the spare key, did you get all the service history etc? Does all the mileage match up?

Hi everyone , i have a new problem   :-[ :-[

I dropped the car at BMW today and within 30 mins they called me back saying that the cars ignition does not belong to the car, they checked the key and it belongs to a 535 not my 530 and not the dame year , the guy on the phone said it could be innocent and just be that the car has had a second hand replacement ignition but even tho that brings up questions,

The only positive i can think of is that the guy i bought it from bought it as stolen recovered and a third party not bmw replaced the ignition and then he sold it on to muggins me , I got no problem with the car if thats the case as long as its not dodgy


Do you think this is plausible ?

Didn't think it is possible to steal one of those without a key or a crane :-\

Sounds like you've bought a big smelly retriever :-\

As a thought, type the reg into the dvla car tax checker and ask mid. Might show up any anomalies...

I didn't think so Al, but at work we were given some intel & watched a video just to show how easy it was to steal them, it literally took 1 minute. I ain't gonna say how but Bloody hell it was good to watch.
