Recently, I ran into a predicament which I had never had before involving BMW VIN decoding. One of our members from OST messaged me the VIN of a 1973 BMW 2002tii. He said that he was having issues identifying the car with RealOEM or ETK.CC. Typically these websites, and BMW, need the last 7 from...
