Something very strange is going on with my VIN.

Before I bought my car I asked the previous owner for the VIN to use one of the online decoders such as:

www.bmwvin.com

or

www.bmwarchive.org

But now when I use those same sites with the same VIN number (I now own the car) a whole host of options are missing!

I know this because part of the reason I went to see the car in the first place was because I was able to verify the spec of the car.

Has anyone else experienced this?
