I used to be able to just enter the VIN# here and see the build sheet, but seems something has changed ...... when I try to register as it asks, it won't let me

Try this one...not as good as rubmw.ru and requires some German translation. But it's the only one i can find lately that is free/doesn't require registration/works

Nice thread bump. That's an 850/6 that sold last year for ~8k at an auction. You can get information on VINs at www.bmwvin.com.
