Suspicions - GPS / mileage history
I have some suspicions that a car detailer may have taken a joy ride in my car and am looking for some irrefutable evidence in the form of GPS or mileage history for a specific day. Do I have any options at all or do I chalk this up as a lesson learned? I didn't record the mileage down before I dropped off the car. I also have the Connected app setup properly so I should've known better and periodically checked the location in the app.

Aside from that, it's a lesson learned. I have run a dash camera in my past few vehicles and have gone back to watch what the service guys did with my car. Fortunately no joy riding or running errands. It's some extra peace of mind and also good for CYA in the event of a collision. Als, logging your miles or taking a picture of your gauge pod when you drop it off is smart too. I do that with loaner cars and rental cars. Finally, if you don't trust that shop, time to find a new detailer.... |

On my 530e if you switch to the "Start of Trip" Trip Data view it will show you the total miles driven as long as the car was started I believe within 4 hours of shutoff otherwise it will see it as a new "trip".
Probably the easiest way to see this data clearly if you still can access it. |

I also found out I'm able to download a complete "CarData" report from BMW. "With BMW CarData, customers always have an overview of the telematics data that their vehicle sends to BMW as part of BMW ConnectedDrive services and that is stored there. Customers can request a BMW CarData report so they know what vehicle data BMW has currently stored for their vehicle." I generated the report but it can take upwards of 24 hours to complete. I also suspect it's more privacy related and may not have the historic data i'm looking for. Will repost back here once I know what kind of data/value it provides. Thanks PersonaNonGrata and everyone else for that matter! |
