Guest Pablo_Emms Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 First go here: http://www.bmw-warra...rDetails.asp... Enter the reg number of the car and press NEXT, helpfully it will pull up the details of the car including the VIN. Keep that page open. Then follow these instructions courtesy of the BMW Owner's Club: 1> Click http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/homepage/ 2> From the BMW Owner Area menu, choose Genuine BMW Parts 3> From the menu on the left had side of the page click Parts Catalogue 4> From the lower part of the screen click Electronic parts catalogue. Find genuine spare parts and accessories for your BMW. 5> Use the username eu111111 and the password bmwetk1 6> Enter the last 7 digits of you VIN number and click >> 7> From the top of the next window, click Options. This displays a new window with the information on extras. Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossuss Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Already posted here mate, but could do with a thread for this in the guide section Edited May 3, 2012 by Colossuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Pablo, thanks for the link. I hope you don't mind but I've moved it to the DIY section. I know there have been other posts about this, but as this one is dedicated to it and the others were just passing comments I figured it's not a bad idea to have as a guide. It was useful for me because everytime I go to do it I never have my VIN to hand. Thanks for the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiksilver_TR Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just done this for mine and saw a couple of things that the car no longer has, like the 6disc changer? Nm, Dyanavin clone going in soon. As a side to this is there any way of getting the service history prinout in the same sort of fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiksilver_TR Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Matt, that is exactly what we need. Just interested to see what the car has been in for and if there is anything I should be pushing for BMW to do before October this year (10years old then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 5C Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 First time I have done this. Its good!. Reinforces the fact that the first owner of my car didn’t want anything except the smoker pack and 6 disk changer in the boot... The rest of the "options" read like standard equipment.... What is Omission of non-combined operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 After you've got the VIN, you can just enter it here and miss a lot of steps http://www.rubmw.ru/vincode/eng/ Jeffchiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2r Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 How come my car was built on 30/7/2002 but no registered till 19/11/2003? Seems odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 It would have been sat on a dealers forecourt for a while unregistered I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Didn't work for me, got this while trying it with the 330 I just bought: We are unable to process your policy. Please call the BMW Insured Warranty Services team on 0845 641 9790 to arrange cover. Lines are open 9am - 6pm Monday to Friday. Edit - actually it does work if you only put in the reg number and don't enter a username or pin like the first post in this thread tells you to!

Gaz Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wonder if it's an age thing? My 330 works which is an 03 plate, the M3 doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
