Looking for a functioning BMW VIN decoder
Does anyone know of an online BMW VIN decoder that currently works? Specifically, one that reveals full vehicle specs from the factory, not a generic one that just gives year, make, and model, and not much else.
I've been using www.mdecoder.com for awhile now, but it's been down for 2 weeks (after inputting VIN, message reads 'Vehicle not found try again later.'), and the others online either don't work, or don't return anything useful on the vehicle build specs. |

www.mdecoder.com worked for me today. Can you try a different IP address,
or turn off/turn on a VPN to see if you get a different result? |

Just gave mdecoder a try out of curiosity and works as expected for me, indeed strange it's not working for you or your friends.

BOTH (mdecoder and bimmerwork) not decoding any NEW vins that im checking, they clearly can repeat and output for example my personal vehicles that i did many ears ago, but if i want to input a new, im guessing NEVER decoded vin, they sending a message "vehicle not found please try again later".

Mdecoder didn’t work for me on the above but bimmer.work brings it up just fine.

Anyone knows where does this websites gets all the data, to decode VIN? Probably there are some official (or not) sources (databases) that they query on the back-end.
There is one I've found, but it's mostly about US vehicles. And it doesn't provide spec-list as mdecoder or similar services did. So consider it as quite useless. Here it is with exampled VIN provided previously in this topic: https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/vehic...74?format=json |
