Trying to get service records for a 2017 X5 with 12K miles that is on sale at a non-BMW dealer. This dealer claims he called BMW dealership for service records & they refused to share. Previous owner doesn't have copies. Previous owner traded this X5 for a new car at this non-BMW dealer.
Car is in excellent shape, has all the packages I want but am hesitant to pull trigger. The dealer won't allow me to get a PPI done from a BMW dealer or an independent mechanic claiming they will do an inspection in house, which defeats the purpose of PPI.
I don't know if it is illegal to obtain/request service records of a car that one doesn't own or there are privacy issues. I guess one could hide previous owner's PII. Wondering if anyone works at a BMW dealership or knows someone & don't mind helping.
