I have no idea what your specific issue is with me. But it's your issue. Not mine. :-X

Merc do this too .... it serves no use whatsoever to the used car buyer as he/she doesn't get to see the service history. If service history was important I'd want to see a book stamped up or preferably receipts/invoices.

BMW store it in the vehicle hard drive including things like brake fluid and coolant changes along with any recall work.

They give you a printed breakdown, but that's as much for budgeting purposes as anything else as the important stuff is permanently stored in the car.

I do get the job sheet and receipt with part numbers on.  :y  It also lists their findings in percentage of wear to brake pads/disc condition, tyres etc.  :y

I was surprised at just how much info the dealer can get from just the remote fob.  :y

Yeah, that was an eye opener. Service history, mileage, how many l of fuel was in it, the fact it's service was 497 miles overdue. To name just a few things.

Me too I wouldn't purchase a vehicle without visible documented history that I can hold in my hands & read .
