Any way I can get a hold of or at least view what the dealer has done to my car? Purchased with 32k miles. I'm aware of what the maintenance timeline is, but have zero proof of anything being done. I'm referencing spark plugs, drivetrain fluids, warranty work, etc. Not anything the onboard computer tracks. BMW flat out refuses to show me, due to laws or whatever.

I tried the same when I purchased mine, but the dealer wouldn't release.

Good luck!!

I asked my service advisor and he gave them to me - I guess it all depends on the dealership and/or the advisor.

You could also pay $32 for 24 hr access to ISTA. Then lookup the records with the VIN. I'm pretty sure this is exactly what the dealer would do. It's a bit kludgy because I think you have to download the software and set it up. But then you can print off some PDFs of instructions for whatever service items or repairs you might want to do in the future.

I've certainly thought about that, but considering you're unable to add maintenance actions, I'm skeptical if viewing prior jobs is possible. I'd love confirmation from someone.
