I'd like to share my knowledge regarding obtaining a free VIN check for a classic car. 

There are several ways this could be achieved. Firstly, you may receive direct assistance from an online community like this one, enabling you to obtain your vehicle history report.

Secondly, you could opt to directly contact the manufacturer of the vehicle. They may have the ability to provide you with detailed information about your vehicle.

Another option is to search online to see if any companies offer a classic car VIN check for free. While I'm uncertain about the feasibility of this, it's worth investigating.

Based on my experience, the easiest method to obtain a vehicle history report, whether for new or older cars, for free, is by asking around in forums. You might encounter someone willing to help you, possibly with extra credits to spare.

BMW have a Classic Car section who are normally very helpful but only history of service and repairs carried out at Dealerships will be recorded. So paper history is still important.

You can also use a BMW Vin decoder to gain knowledge of the cars original spec at order/build
