Anybody know a free reliable BMW VIN decoder website? I've tried a few and none of them really work. The ones that do work just say no info found. I bought a used m235i and just want to see all the add on's that are included in it from factory. Thanks!

I was trying to use mdecoder.com while searching for a car, but it was sooo hit-or-miss whether it worked, or was “over daily limit”, I was losing my mind.

Bit the bullet and paid to use outvin.com. Totally worth the few bucks: just the facts, all on one sheet, no ads, etc.

I didn't see a price, just:

Register: https://www.outvin.com/register
Orders: https://www.outvin.com/orders (buy some decodes)
Requests: https://www.outvin.com/requests (enter VIN)
Enjoy.

I have no idea where you got that verbiage, or if you're implying something specific there ... it's a nice, pay service. I print every one I do, and save to Dropbox.

That one works fine for me. Even has the option of downloading as a .pdf, with images.

Nice! Good one. Even has the German.

The verbiage is from their TOS section. I was able to find & read through that, but didn't see a price for the VIN checks anywhere on the site.
Thanks!

Thanks again for plugging my vin for me! You're the man!

No worries, ninthvision. Now we have a really nice free option, too. With pictures! Thanks PeterWT.

Its strange how these sites stop working. bimmer.work was fine a few weeks back but isnt working again, so all I knew of aren't working anymore. Having try Vinpit.com may list accurate data for VIN Decoder with free of cost.

Generally I think they are just enthusiasts or companies just trying to get ad revenue from site visits who run them with no expectation of availability. bimmer.work is working fine at this moment.
