Bimmer.work [Featured Website]

This post is a bit of a departure from the usual site content but hopefully something you'll find interesting.

I'm hoping to make Featured Websites a series of posts, each time bringing you a different site that I think has something unique or worthwhile sharing.

To kick off the series, the first featured site is called bimmer.work. It's a simple site, with a pretty cool function. It describes itself as a VIN decoder, but basically, you enter the last 7 digits of your VIN and it'll give you various details about the car. It works for BMW, MINI, Rolls Royce and BMW Motorcycles.


The data it spits out is split into four sections, the first contains generic details like engine code, paint colour and interior upholstery colour but also some more interesting details like which production plant the car came out of.

The second is an exterior, interior and 360° interior image of the car in the correct spec.


It then details all the standard equipment and the optional extras that were selected. This would be particularly useful when selling a car, enabling you to write a better for sale ad.

It may also come in handy when you're buying cars, particularly at auction. Being able to confirm what options should be there could give a better insight into how much to pay, or if the car's been altered away from factory spec.


Let me know in the comments section below how you guys get on, and if you find out any interesting details about your car using this tool.
