VIN Engine No. INFO

[As-Eez]

I Bought a BMW e46 318 - the car is and was great - i go to BMW Auto Atlantic - i give them the VIn number the car stats with them says the car is Titanium Silver metallic with Black leather interior - I go back to the car its White with grey interior - i go to the registration dept and they say the car is white.

What is the chances the info at BMW about the chassis number does not corresponde with the actuall car?

Is there any other way to confirm is the car is been worked on or changed in any way?

Can anyone assit me in any way?

Hope he asked them to also double check if its correct........
If not, I'm certain you'll get to the bottom of it....
Anyway enjoy the rest of your Night shift....

Cheers vir eers

It could be a couple of things...one is typo on the part of the person putting in the info...2nd is a clone VIN,has happened twice here as far as I know so that means there are plenty more unkowns out there...third is BMW themselves f***ed up and not registered the VIN correctly-my car is an example here doesn't show on the UK systems but does on realoem,often been asked if its an import,yet I have the full service history and even when it was bought from the dealer :thinking:

 

[As-Eez]

hi guys thanks for all the info

Just to clear it up LOL - i double checked the details the no is correct and the dude gave me a print out with the correct details of the VIN number - I am going to go with the one that says BMW F----ed this one up - but i am hoping that i can get solid info from the e-natis info.

sorry - and yes i did not realise that you guys do night shift on the forum - and yes after i watched the soccer - i went to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep - :slap::banghead:


thanks

[As-Eez]

PM'ed you the details

Thnks

 

[As-Eez]

I will be taking the car in to Auto Atlantic soon - they will be checking the car out for me and letting me know what is going on and why the info is incorrrect and how this is possible - the guy at auto atlantic said the chances that there info is incorrect is very slim to none - if even possible as when it leaves the factory its checked and checked again against faults - but ok this is 10 years ago we were more relaxed back then.

hope to find out more soon and keep you posted

thanks

The guy at Auto Atlantic is correct... The chances it is wrong are super slim.

I work for Auto Atlantic but on MINI's side. Who are you dealing with?

Want to PM the VIN too?

Our systems never lie. Literally. :thumbsup:

stupid question. where is the engine number on a 318i

Need to send it minimike19 to check a few things.

Please let me know what the outcome is... I also have a few "discrepancies" with my 318i.

Thanks to (Compliments of ) Coisman

He helped me find the info you requesting

VIN location:
Check behind the rear license plate
on the inside of the driver's side door jamb

Also maybe go check the VIN here:
