I came across your question on various sites as I have had the same problem with my insurance company.
The DATE and TIME information for the key comes from the date and time set on your instument cluster or Idrive system if you have Idrive. This changeable by you.
If you have Idrive you go into the time and date settings and change it. If you do not have Idrive you you can chage this from your stalk control as shown in this link.
If this information is incorrect then the information on the key is also incorrect.
The information on the key is updated once the car is driven over 30kph.
To prove this we have changed the date and time of the car in May 2012 to January 2016. We drove thee car for 35 miles. We then read the information on the key. The key information said the last time the car had been used was 02/01/2016 yes we where in May 2012
These BMW can be stolen within 1 minute with key a key writing device avaliable from Europe check these links
Unless the vehcile is found how can anyone say the time and date was correct on the vehicle. The time and date inforamtion is changeable by the user or anyone who has access to the car THIS IS NOT A DELAER SETTING ONLY!
I hope this information helps you. There is not alot of inforamtion about his onlnine and even the so called specialists either do not know or do not wnat you to know.
Send me a message if you need any more information. And please let me know how you got on with your insurance company and success in getting paid out? |
I'm having trouble with my insurance company also, are there any official BMW document because that's what they want. I've been waiting 3 months already.
