Enter the 17-character VIN of a BMW M6 and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and with no registration. Our data covers 10 versions of the M6, with model years from 2005 to 2018, Convertible and Sedan body styles, and power from 507 to 600 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the decoded model year with the version named in the papers, such as M6 Cabrio (F12M) or M6 Gran Coupé (F06M), and make sure the VIN on the car matches the documents.

The decoder gives you the model year from the 10th character, which should fall between 2005 and 2018 for the versions in our data. Then check the version named in the registration papers, for example E63, E64, F06M, F12M or F13M, and the body style, Convertible or Sedan, against the car itself.
All 17 characters must match exactly, in the same order. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, someone has probably misread or mistyped it. The decoded manufacturer, model year and country should also fit what the papers say.
It reads only the VIN, so it shows no accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because a VIN does not contain them. It also cannot tell you the condition of a particular car.
