Bmw classic certificate

I don't think having a picture of a car verifies that you own it.

It cost $500. It is done at a dealer. They document what engine or trans is in the car now. They will state if they are matching or mismatched. They will not provide the engine and trans numbers if they are mismatched.

They do provide much more data about the car than BMW provides. I'll bet there are many E9 (and other rare BMW) owners that would be glad to pay $500 for the type of information Porsche provides.

Yes, definitely. Now that I think about it, I had to show pics of the title, id and photos of the engine/chassis. It was about 18 months ago...

Was looking into these and seems as though the certificate has evolved to a digital certificate which they now email to you… for an increased fee of course

What would be next step from BMW? The certificate would force all to be in Munich with the car and move on with the restoration at place?

or BMW Bank credit card with the certificate on it ;-)

BMW Group Classic are short of staff for quite some time. One of the consequences was they dropped the printed car certificates because they were too time consuming. So they told me, and I believe they told the truth. Everyone can still get e-mails with (for E3 and E9) the same information as in the printed certificate. Only thing is the printed version looks better in a frame on the wall.

I feel I just read where someone could not get a reply to the email, and ended up ordering the paper certificate instead. Their assumption was that, since you pay for the certificate, the free emails were not being responded to. I don't have direct experience with this - I have always received a reply through the email. But I do know the email address changed recently. You need to send the message to the correct address.
