need VIN help, I'm BMW n00b
I've been searching the net, and quickly, I need to find out what the vehicle codes in the BMW vin numbers corispond too, and if I was given a bad VIN number...
I am looking to purchase a 1986 BMW 325i, as basic means of transportation, and when I went to get insurance, I was told the VIN was invalid
I found this site through google, and I was wondering if someone could help me.
the VIN was given as wbaae310700897224, (which in a few FAQs I've read, does not apear to be valid) is there somnething I am missing.

This thread: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=101178 might help, it has a chart that you can reference to see what each part of the VIN is supposed to indicate.

Most likely answer might be that the seller copied the number wrong in his communication with you. First thing I would do is try to get confirmation of number.

In the VIN WBA AE31 070 0897224, the country code is 1, which shows this is a German (or Euro) model. US cars have been 3 for the last sevearl years, though I am not sure about 1985 era.

I think zero (number) and letter o are no longer used in new car VIN numbers. I've tried my old car's VIN number (that was in mid 1980's) in CarFax and it says it won't accept those zero number or letter O in VIN number.
