You can log onto the carfax website and pay the small fee to get the history on these cars, that's if the previous owner/companies/insurance companies posted anything on these sites, I doubt will provide the service for free, possibly a BMW dealership will.

Re: Vin/ car fax help

CAREFUL with the second one- Georgia is a state that allows titles to be washed. It may have been totaled, then fixed, titeld in georgia so as to not have anything show up on carfax



Get a bmw history as well. PAY for an independent inspection- NOT a bmw dealer's cpo pos inspection....

I noticed the accident on the second car.

FYI, not all accidents are reported. I had a rear quarter panel accident on my old '95 540i. Before I traded the car I pulled the carfax report and there was no indication of the accident.
