    Looking for a specific E30

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a specific E30 my parents had when I was a kid.
    I only have the VIN of the car - does anybody know if there is a place to look up the car by it's VIN?

    Certain states will let you know who owns a car by VIN usually

    Danish, right? Have you checked with your national road authority?
    They probably won't give that info, but you can always try.

    That, or join a Danish E30 forum. Someone there might recognize the car

    I already checked the VIN, the car hasn't been registrered in Denmark since 2006. There might be a risk that the car has been scrapped, but I hope it has been exported to Germany or Sweden.
    Do you of any places to look up a VIN in Germany or Sweden? - or any other European country?

    I'd call them. They will likely tell you whether it has been scrapped or exported. Just no owners info.
    Here in The Netherlands you can check that online simply by license plate already. No secrets there.
