BMW is one of the most recognizable nameplates on U.S. roads. Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Germany, today BMW is part of BMW Group. Every modern BMW carries a unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number that encodes the model year, engine, body style, and country of assembly — and try.vin uses that VIN to assemble a complete vehicle history report covering title brands, accidents, odometer readings, open safety recalls, and theft flags. Popular used BMW models on the market today include 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5, X7, and 7 Series.
