 BMW keys store mileage? - BobbyG
In this week's Auto Express (which doesn't cover April 1st) it has an article about insurance fraud investigators.

One comment is that for the last few years, BMW keys store the car mileage in the chip so the insurace company are able to know, for instance, if a car has been stolen and the 2 mileages match, then the keys were used in the "theft". Other info regarding servicing, error codes also are stored.

Anyone else aware of this - was news to me?
