BMW VIN decoder!
« on: November 09, 2016, 11:42:11 am »
Need to see when your bike was made and what was ordered or the colour scheme spec?

Go here...

http://bimmer.work

...or here...

https://www.bmwvin.com

...enter the last seven digits of your VIN, normally begins with 'Z', solve the irritating captcha, hit 'Submit' or 'Decode VIN' and be amazed.

The first can be a bit flakey, the second gives the options and build status as well as all the normal guff!
