Obtaining vehicle specification
Can someone point me in the right direction to help me get the exact vehicle specification for my car - I think there's a place where I type my VIN number in and it reveals the spec it came in.
Tried the search facility but couldn't find it.
Cheers, Ming

Okay. Just tried the link and after entering the VIN number from the log book a message says "oops, something went wrong", solve the captcha.
But there isn't a captcha, and the VIN number is confirmed on the plaque on the dash and on the door pillar, plus on the paperwork I have from BMW. Is there another UK site I can check the validity of the VIN number on?

Good few years since I sold my 3.0Si though so might be wrong

I’ve just clicked on the link I’ve posted and used a VIN I found on here from a previous prospective purchase (WBALM32000E516875) and it worked first time.Scubaregs wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 3:52 pmJust tried that one, again.
