Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Bimmerman
🏁
General
What is Bimmerman?
A web app for BMW owners that tracks servicing, provides AI-powered advice for your specific car, and analyzes mechanic quotes to help you avoid overpaying.
Who is this for?
BMW owners who want to stay on top of maintenance, avoid getting ripped off, and make informed decisions about mods and servicing. Whether you're an enthusiast or just want peace of mind, Bimmerman has you covered.
Why BMW only?
By focusing on BMW, we can provide specialized knowledge: specific engines, common issues, mod compatibility, and accurate pricing for BMW parts and labor. Generic advice doesn't cut it for BMW owners.
🔍
Smart Analyzer
What does Smart Analyzer do?
Upload photos or PDFs of mechanic quotes or service invoices. Our AI extracts line items, automatically imports service history into your profile, analyzes pricing against regional data, and flags potential overcharges or red flags.
Can I import multiple service documents?
Yes. Upload all your past service invoices and Smart Analyzer will automatically extract the service items, dates, and costs, building your complete service history without manual entry.
How accurate is the pricing analysis?
We adjust for your region and shop type (dealer, specialist, independent). Each line item shows a confidence percentage. If something's borderline, we flag it as 'Question' rather than making a definitive call.
Can I just use ChatGPT instead?
ChatGPT doesn't know your car, mileage, or service history. Every conversation starts from zero. Bimmerman builds context over time and provides structured, actionable output.
📋
Service Tracking & Profile
What information do I need to enter?
Your BMW model, year, engine, mileage, and country. You can import past service records (via photo or PDF) or add them manually. More context = smarter analysis.
Why does service history matter?
If a mechanic quotes you for spark plugs you replaced 6 months ago, Bimmerman catches that, but only if it knows your history.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your documents are encrypted and used only for your account. We don't share or sell your data.
