This process can be done in Safari and Chrome (perhaps other browsers but have not seen examples of that). Since every once and awhile folks have trouble with the process I updated the instructions and created a couple of videos that hopefully will help.

Chrome:

1. Log into MyBMW and go to the main MyGarage page
2. Right-Click and choose Inspect
3. Click on Network and then Fetch/XHR
4. Refresh the page and wait until it has completed
5. Click on the first forward…. entry to get the data

Safari:

1. Go into Settings/Advanced and enable Show Develop menu in menu bar
2. Log into MyBMW and go to the main MyGarage page
3. Right-Click and choose Inspect Element
4. Click on Network and choose XHR/Fetch from the dropdown
5. Refresh the page and wait until it has completed
6. Click on the first forward entry to get the data

Special thanks to Gene for allowing me to use his VIN without going through the hassle of trying to blur it.

Very cool, thanks so much!!
