BMW Approved Used Car Check - Bloody F***ing dealers

Hi i have enquired at the BMW Dealer nearest to the vendor about getting a BMW AUC Check on it. This is the BMW Dealer the vendor bought the car from some years ago as a BMW Approved Used Car and it has visited there numerous times for BMW Service etc.

Everything was going alright in the conversation with the BMW Dealer lady till she asked have i got the registration...........and then i said hold on just a minute............then i gave it...........and she said ah yes been here before most recently a couple of months ago for MOT............then she checked with her service manager and then said they are not allowed to do BMW AUC check on it because they would be liable.

I suggested other BMW Dealers would do it and indeed rang one near me which is much further from the vendor and they do not mind. However, i prefer the dealer near the vendor as they have ALOT of the history of the car there. I did ask is it because the car has been there alot and the lady said no.

I rang back again and told them another dealer offered to do it so what is the problem? They would do the "Health Check" but frankly i want the AUC check. I even offered to pay "a bit extra" but still she said no.

I might try ringing again and if i get hold of a different person just get it booked in and not give them the registration but that involves alot of luck.

This is an enormous inconvenience for me.

What should i do? HELP.
