    I saw this on another forum a while back, can't recall where, so I cannot credit the clever soul who worked this out. Hopefully helpful to those looking for a used car.
    It used to be the case on the BMW AUC website that the VIN number was in the filename of the pdf download for each vehicle. Then you could check the build spec of the car using one of the online VIN decoders.
    However, the site no longer does pdfs with the VIN number in, so how to get from the reg no. to the VIN number?
    Give this a go...
    Go to:
    http://www.247spares.co.uk/
    enter the reg number, then hit enter
    press CTRL_U
    press CTRL_F
    search for the letter VIN and after about three hits around line 207 will be the full VIN of that car.
    Simples...
