Thank you everyone for your contributions, while I was doing research I found this website who provides original copies of window stickers: Window Sticker link

That would have been a Dealer sales sticker I would think so the original Dealer may help (at a price) Assuming they still have the sales records of course

If you want a copy of the Original build sheet use a BMW Vin Decoder It will give you a list of all Standard equipment plus options ordered by the original purchaser.

Hey @Greydog Thank you for your suggestion, it is very useful to me

Dear fellow members,

I have my eyes set on a BMW X5 it looks great and it seems to be a fair deal. The owner I am dealing with is the second owner and has all the documentation except the original window sticker. This would show all the options, features and packages that the vehicle has and made my decision making process a lot easier!

Can you guys suggest where I can get the window sticker since its lost?

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the market for a used car and have come across a 2012 BMW 328i  that I am considering purchasing. The car has a salvage title and is priced at $12,000.

I would like to get some advice from the forum members on whether or not this is a good buy. The car and seems to be in good condition from the pictures I have seen. However, I am a bit concerned about the salvage title.

I understand that a salvage title means that the car has been in an accident or suffered some sort of damage that resulted in the insurance company deeming it a total loss. While the car may have been repaired, there could still be underlying issues that I am not aware of.

So, I would like to ask for your thoughts and opinions on whether or not it is worth purchasing a car with a salvage title. Is there anything I should be looking out for in particular when inspecting the car? Would it be better to spend a bit more money on a car with a clean title?

I appreciate any advice and insight you can provide. Thank you in advance for your help.

If it’s not lighting the dash intermittently, have you tried the ignition switch relay? It’s a clip on item under the steering wheel cowling opposite the ignition barrel. If this is failing it would not send the signal to tell the ews or cas aswell as the dashboard to work. … it’s worth a try! 

Thanks... this was helpful information

OK great information the new probable suspect (and not uncommon on many marques and makes) is the under bonnet alarm switch. Normally located at the back of the engine bay (rear left when looking from the front) just disconnect it to see iff the drain stops if it does just swap the switch. If it isn't the switch then the alarm sounder would be my next port of call, a Scan with ISTA should show any issues with the EWS

Hope it helps

Welcome to the Forum

As the Dealer has acknowledged an issue by taking out the dash my question would be 2 weeks to take out and replace the dash ???? Clearly they treated it as job to do when you have time rather than actually caring about a customer. All you can do is keep pressure on BMW

Good Luck 

Dave
