Re to the VIN decoder, I put my new car’s VIN in a decoder and it came up with a car from the early 2000s. I read somewhere that BMW are reusing VINs from cars which have been scrapped.

I’m unsure of the rumour of using numbers that have been scrapped although a number of us have been sidetracked with links to 320s from way back. I believe that you have to wait until the vehicle has been formally registered and had updated VINs by BMW before you will be able to use the VIN decoder for spares and accessories etc. It does make it more difficult to order items in advance of receiving the car.
