The complete BMW ownership experience.

The following list summarizes all known service activities performed on this vehicle since it was first purchased new in 1993. There may be a few gaps in the records - especially in those furnished by previous owners (a realistic expectation for a car that is 13 years old and has changed hands several times). However, the overall account of the car's service history should demonstrate conscientious and responsible ownership throughout the car's life. All of the items below can be verified with service receipts, invoices, dealership stamps, or other means of confirmation.

Records from when I purchased the car in March of 2004 through the present are 100% complete, and provide the most meaningful data for determining the current condition of the car.
