Just one question tho - The decoder lists my car as equipped with the following options -
575 Additional 12v Power Socket
6AA Bmw Teleservices
6AB Control Teleservices
6NH Hands-free Facility W. Usb Interface
663 Radio Bmw Professional
However, If i understand correctly, the teleservices is the option that gives you access to concierge (I may be so wrong here!)? My car does not have the SOS button as is available in cars with that facility. Maybe I'm reading something wrong!
Secondly, this lists as my car being equipped with the BMW Professional Radio. Does this mean that I should be able to "retrofit" the combox to gain access to enhanced bluetooth? By the looks of it, my car does not currently have a combox in the boot (usual location - left of the fuse box).

Thescout13 wroteThanks - worked for me, too. I didn’t know about that site and searching hadn’t turned it up.Bimmer.work worked for me for both vins
xlover wroteApparently. Seen already VINs of BMW cars built the very same day. Looks like it's real-time.very curious how does this work? is there a database BMW maintains that these decoders pull the information from?
For the past 60 days I have not been able to get the results to work (always a "something went wrong" message)
1) Is everyone else having this issue with the site or know what's up?
I've also noticed a few other VIN Decoder sites not working recently either.
2) Is there some sort of lockdown on the database?
3) What are the best working VIN Decoders at this point?
I like bimmer.work. I've also used bmwvin.
shadowfax wroteIt has always worked for me and it still shows the info for my 2016 M2.For some reason it doesn’t give the VIN info for the new G30 5 series.It worked for me just now.
I like bimmer.work. I've also used bmwvin.
I'm looking to purchase a vehicle but the VIN number doesn't come up for some reason. When I enter my VIN it comes up with no issue. Anyone run into this? I keep getting error 110 on the site. It's for a 2008 M5 VIN CX08156.
omera60 wroteI was basically looking to see what packages are included with the car, the way BMW VIN decoder gives you that info.Maybe I can help. What exactly do you want to know about it?
