Happy to help and I'm glad you found something. Thanks PersonaNonGrata and everyone else for that matter! Will repost back here once I know what kind of data/value it provides. I also suspect it's more privacy related and may not have the historic data i'm looking for. I generated the report but it can take upwards of 24 hours to complete. Customers can request a BMW CarData report so they know what vehicle data BMW has currently stored for their vehicle.' '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.

I also found out I'm able to download a complete 'CarData' report from BMW. I guess I wasn't fully aware of the app functionality and think I found a suspicious destination using the process you defined above! There is a destination in there that a) matches up to the distance from the detailer shop almost precisely and b) is a place I have never visited in the car.

I do that with loaner cars and rental cars.įinally, if you don't trust that shop, time to find a new detailer. That would make keeping a mileage log much easier.

Later, via Bluetooth or cable, the data (time, date, mileage, purpose) for each business trip could be downloaded from the unit to a computer or handheld. Als, logging your miles or taking a picture of your gauge pod when you drop it off is smart too. For example, each time you start your car, the unit would ask if this is a business trip (and possibly purpose of trip or client). It's some extra peace of mind and also good for CYA in the event of a collision. Fortunately no joy riding or running errands. 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. That might help you show where your car has been but it does not show when your car was at that location.Īside from that, it's a lesson learned. When I select any of the locations it sees it as a new potential destination and it gives me an ETA. I see a bunch of locations on mine that I did not manually enter as navigation destinations or send to my car via the app and they're kind of randomly listed. (Sorry, I couldn't resist dropping that reference.) I think the BMW Connected app does log some location history under the 'Destinations' tab. That's crappy! At least it wasn't your dad's rare Ferrari 250 GT California that he loves more than you. I also have the Connected app setup properly so I should've known better and periodically checked the location in the app. 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 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.
