Service history check

Hey guys,

Potentially putting a deposit down on this car today. Just wanted to post this warranty history and see if there are any red flags. Seems to be a bunch of minor things, but nothing major. Anything to be worried about?

I'd ask for more info on the transmission issues at 38K miles and make sure that was resolved. Not common to see DCT issues.

The CA said this is all the info he is able to see. I am planning on getting an easycare warranty, however. This shouldn't be a huge issue right?

Estoril, as you're asking mate, personally would hesitade buying this car with engine oil changed every 15k miles. Yes that is according to BMWs recommendation which I believe is safe to state is far to selldom.

Good luck

The aftermarket warranty would be a must. I would take it for a spin and see if the shifting was still rough. I might even want to have it lifted up and remove any visual hindrance to see if the DCT is still leaking. If runs fine and you have a warranty then why not....assuming the price is right.

That's BS if you have access to the system you can click into the claim number in blue and it will show all the notes from the tech etc about the claim.
