BMC datatagged ?

Does anyone know if all BMC cycles come with some sort of datatag identification system or unique tracking number ?

Not exactly either. Keen to verify the status of a secondhand one that is for sale, as the seller seems to know suspiciously little about it.0

Must be a pro then. Does he have a bum on his chin and a suspicious antipodean accent?0

sounds a little dodgy. however I got my old bmc tagged (not using datatag) and the police didn't actually register it! I sold it may 2014, to a guy, and I went to the website to check the details to find it and nothing there.
very odd. my old bike was the old alloy street racer.0 -
If you're suspicious about it then you're probably right. Dodgy bike. Any pics of it ? Someone might recognise it ?0

Could be totally legit, but the ad was very generic cut and paste from BMC. The seller had the year wrong. the size wrong an described it as a "Roadmachine" when's it's actually a "Racemachine". Looks like a tidy bike but with zero provenance...0 -
Might be worth asking the seller for some kind of provenance, e.g., receipts, where he got it from, etc. If he comes across as helpful but maybe lacking road bike sense then that is probably ok...if he starts being evasive or the facts are clearly wrong or don't hold up to scrutiny then just walk away. The last thing you want to do is buy something stolen as (ignoring the other obvious reasons) the police could knock on the door at anytime and take the bike away... and you will be left both out of pocket and without a bike.0

Assuming it does check out, anyone got any views of value ? It's a 2011...0
