    Any BMW employees able to check a VIN for warranty flags?

    I'm looking to purchase a used F34 still within warranty. The carfax states it had no accidents but the front bumper was reported by a third party inspector as likely repaired due to their finding of differences in paint depth. I'm sure that's common for front bumpers, but can any BMW employee run the VIN for me and see if there are any warranty blocks on it? Thanks!

    There would only be an indication on BMW's end if the vehicle had been reported as totaled. A fender bender isn't noted in BMW's files.

    Anything that is fixed, without being reported to the insurance company, usually isn't noted on a Carfax.
