                The VINs are all German ;)

                Seriously, the data is based only on the last 7 of the VIN, which is the unique ID for each car. The rest is just assembly line, model and production year ID.

                Depending on what the guy's access is, it can work for any BMW. With VINs from US Spec cars the right database can tell you which dealership first sold the car.
