If you have access to the complete database this wouldnt happen. Or is it impossible to extract the complete database?

A damage record database would be very helpful. Thats something you cant see in normal vin checks.
Unfortunately, the complete VIN database is not available for public use, and up until it becomes available (if it ever will), I can only use the reverse-engineered solution I'm currently using to request data for specific vin. However, I'm sure the database will grow soon, since I'll be adding more sources, and more time will pass (I'm collecting the data only for about 1 month till now.)


I also checked your VIN, and it matched half of the cars incorrectly.
There are only 30 Z4's right now, that are equipped with M54 engine. This will probably change when I will start reading Europe based sources
