There is no other service information in that manual however. Also there is a contact Europe 2008/2009 book with the car manual.


This appears to be the dealer.

That dealer site also has a lot of info about the BMW Military Sales Program for US vehicles.

Also from CarFax it appears the car was reported as purchased in 11/2008 to VA, but then it shows it wasn't imported in the US until 8/2010 so I have a feeling the original owner was in the military and stationed in Europe for the first two years of the cars life.

I have a feeling this is going to make it very hard to get the service info.

Does anybody know if the service info from Germany would even show up to BMWNA?
Yes, service history is available, but the VIN has to be "registered" with BMWNA first. Should have been done when the car was brought to the US, but if not, you can do it now. And you should, so you can get recalls, invites to drive exotic BMWs, etc., etc....
