Yes it now seems that revenue have access to factory records for BMW, Mercs, Audi, and Lexus cars. They may have access to others also.

I was vrting a BMW 320 in Jan and they charged me €700 more for extras like xenon lights, metalllic paint, sun shields, non standard alloys.

I actually got a copy of the printout which was taken from a bmw website they have access to from chassis number. You wont get charged for any garage fitted extra as they cant see them.

Bit of a sting but no way around it i think. But you'll still save money.

If you are REALLY lucky you might end up like this guy in post #941 in this thread.

You will be charged 25% of the current market value of the extras, not their cost new.
