    Creating a list of possible VINs

    Hi
    I'm searching for my next car. I have the options nailed down (mostly) but having a hard time finding such a car. I went through similar trouble finding my E60 back in 2007. This time I'm looking for an F10.

    Is there a certain algorithm that BMW uses when building cars that will give predict what equipment will be installed in each car? Or is there a reverse VIN generator that I can use to input said options and it gives me back a list of all VINs that BMW build matching those specifications?

    Perhaps there's a better, more efficient way to find my next car???

    Please HELP. If I don't find this car, my wife will find something else to buy!!!

    that does not help you much. VIN Decode Explained, What do the numbers and letters in a VIN mean? https://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/vin-basics
    So if you found a car which might be suitable, you have to get the VIN and then check it with a VIN decoder, which can tell you in detail which options where ordered.
