And it was all Very Good News.

Last service was last year by Stratstone BMW, at 25,000 miles.

Vanos Systems modified with retrofit Accumulators at 18,000 miles.

And only two Warranty Claims from new for very minor items.....Indicator Module, and Heater Module.

And she's now got 34,000 miles from new.

Chuffed to bits.

Yep.....Drives well too.....Even when it's pissing down and covered in shit....the day after I polished it.

Oh well, at least I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

Had a good day at Rockingham, even if the weather was crap. Racing was good too, and would have been even better if they hadn't waited 30 minutes between each race.

No......Full BMW Service History, and still with extended warranty.

What I didn't get with the car was the BMW Detailed Papers relating to the 3 warranty claims that it had when it was new.

1. Noisy Vanos (Retro Fitted with new Vanos Accumulators by BMW under warranty)

2. Indicator Module had intermittent fault (Replaced under warranty)

3. Fan Blower Motor Resisted failed (Replaced under warranty)

This is the info that Carlo got me.....along with all the dates and milages at the time of the work.
