G20 BMW 3-Series Forum - View Single Post - My G20’s VIN number matches a completely different car in database searches

jstnstr · 03-29-2020, 09:02 AM

I have a brand new 2020 M340i xDrive coming on Tuesday. I recently reached out to a tuner to see if my car could be flashed over OBD. I gave them the VIN number that is listed in my myBMW.com account as well as my lease paperwork. They informed me that the it came up as a 2005 EU-market E91 330d in their database. I've checked with a few other online VIN 'decoders' and I get the same result.

The only thing I could think of is that the VIN is different on the actual vehicle but that seems unlikely as it is the same from multiple different BMW sources. Anyone got any ideas?
