The Bimmer is WBAHD61050BK81674. Now, this is a German Specs car so it's probably not going to come up. Are VINs universal or what....

Carfax only can tell you about cars imported to U.S. (Canada?). You can however determine (by your provided VIN) that we are talking about a E34 525i limo built 1992 with a M50 engine and automatic transmission. That specific model was actually also exported to Japan!

Muchas Gracias!

Yeah, the ol' Bimmer. What a car. It has over 200,000 KM and it has never failed me - even once. Everything in it works. It has no rust and it has no blemishes. I'm going to hate to part with it when the 550i comes. If that's half as reliable as the old E34 I'll be OK.

Regards,

Santiago

I used to have an E34 myself (95:er). Completely agree that it was a state of the art car at that time! No rust and no bugs (that word wasn't invented by then) whatsoever!! Good luck with your 550! I'm sure the first year's bugs are gone by now!

Yeah, thanks. I hope all the software problems and others will have been fixed when they launch the 550i. I do not want to be disappointed or inconvenienced. You expect with paying so much for a car that it would be flawless but we're talking "software", and we know how reliable that is and how it can fail for no reason. <_<
