Warning: Mileage on service records

[outnumbered]

I try to keep all the documents on my car in good order in order to help with selling, when the time comes.

I recently had some repair work done at a main dealer, and yesterday noticed that the recorded mileage on the invoice was completely wrong - about 2000 less than it should have been.

Turns out that I'd given them the spare key, which hadn't been used in the car for months, and they read the key electronically to give them the current mileage. So it was showing well below the actual mileage of the car on the day.

I'm trying to get this sorted out, as I don't want an anomaly showing up on the car's service record back at BMW UK... so watch out for this, as it could be a common problem.

Do they just supply one key or do you get the plastic one and the one without the brains ? or is that a full lock change :smt017

Seriously I dunno, not ever ordered a key for the CSL, did a new one for the M3 and that was just a standard replacement around 60 squid I think

I was told by BMW that the car did not come with a plastic key. I think my brother in law who works for them said the same thing. Do I take it you guys have the plastic key? It never worked on my old car anyway.

I've got a plastic key, not that ive ever tried to use it!

What worries me is that the car came with 4 keys and I only have two!
