There’s a list at BimmerLink.app, I’m using the vgate wifi with an iPhone

My understanding is you can update them in the vehicle if you have an unsanctioned copy of ISTA but those non-dealer services (unless your indy has registered with BMW) will be deleted if the car is ever plugged in again at the dealer.

@E30 325i Rag-Top it appears the idrive service records are centrally stored though? As they update when the vehicle is ‘plugged in’ at dealership.
guess I should’ve tried harder not to lose the receipts -
Thanks @Gaz - it's an E91 so guess it'll be a case of phoning around for records. The electronic history on the newer ones does make things easier in some respects.

New or good used…
BMW Angel Eye Bulb - ZKW 63117161444

Noted - I was the owner of the vehicle during relevant period. I know Audi do a service history printout stating what has been done and when without any ownership details

Welcome (fellow F31 owner but filling from the black pump...)
If you have the newer NBT EVO idrive (tile menu interface) it may be possible to activate carplay to run natively - 2016 was the changeover year for this so depends what month your car was built. @promo is definitely the person to speak to.
Show us a picture when you get a chance

For those of you working for BMW in an official capacity ( @E30 325i Rag-Top, @Gaz ?) - is it possible for a dealer to access all of the service history within the BMW NZ network for a particular vehicle or do I have to contact each dealer individually?

Treated the family E91 to oil / filter / air filter / microfilters and reset all the service info - with big thanks to Jon @Spinner99!
(Just need to replace angel eye bulb then 'Check Control OK' 😍)

Not an M325i but same same really.
Wikipedia agrees with you...given the propensity of E30's to rust I'd want to go over it with a fine tooth comb (first 5 yrs spent in UK). Alpina rims just look so good though.

Buy it @Choo!
Spec looks good, it's on star-marked Potenzas (sure sign that there's been some maintenance) and should be a nice middle ground between the 116i and thirsty 135i

Presumably the fact you don't have to carry a spare means a net benefit of RFT's overall on emissions though

Thinking I want to DIY the oil change on the E91 320i I'm looking after atm - internet suggests that ramps are probably a better option than a jack. Any counter opinions for this?

I feel like that panel transition would be less egregious on a non-matte finish. I actually like it in Brooklyn grey, the penis tray bucket seats are a bridge too far though

@Navin the cruise control braking uses the rear brakes to slow down when going downhill which tends to eat them

It'll definitely need VO coding (the new mirror doesn't but the car will still think it has the ETC mirror there so will need to be removed in ISTA) but the mirror mounts are the same so should be straightforward otherwise
Just about broken in 330d

Yeah looks in good nick for a 200k car let alone 3.5x that…probably had the parts cannon fired at it at some point
