What does this VIN mean?

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) WBADD31000BU16959 is a 17-character vehicle identifier. It splits into three blocks without "inventing" a model decode: WMI (positions 1–3) — WBA; VDS (4–9) — DD3100; VIS (10–17) — 0BU16959. VINTrack doesn't guess at a factory decoder — below is only what's confirmed by the projection data or a well-known WMI.

WMI prefix WBA corresponds to manufacturer BMW, typical region/plant: Germany (BMW AG). This matches this vehicle's identity in VINTrack (BMW).

Technical attributes available from the decode/catalog: fuel/engine — Газ пропан-бутан / Бензин, 2.5 л.; transmission — Ручна / Механіка. These help you cross-check a listing against the actual vehicle before viewing it.

What to watch for before buying?
