E12 and classic BMW vins

rodga · Jan 28, 2020

I'm looking to get some vehicle info. It's e12/8 with the short vin sequence. BMW the Glen couldn't pick it up on their system. They used the last 7 digits which throws out 60's motorcycle. Any ideas?

I’m not sure about vehicle info. But parts for my e30 are normally found under classics platform on the bmw system and they use the full VIN.

Thanks does your e30 have a 17 digit vin or is it shorter?

Try this link. Not sure if it will include your car though,

It looks like realoem in a new wrapper. I will try it. But I don't think any of the sa classic vins will be listed there

try M decoder which lets you input the shorter 7 digit VIN. In the results, it should return the long VIN for the car

For parts info, realoem.com is helpful in finding part numbers, giving indicative pricing (usually with up to +-20% variance) and letting you know if parts are still available from agents.

Same result as all the other decoders.
