Running a VIN (not necessarily a Carfax)

So a friend of mine went to look at another BMW 330Ci. The car is listed as a 330Ci but in person it looks to be an M3. I thought maybe someone just rebadged the car and put some wheels on it but maybe not. I should be able to tell from the VIN if it is a legit M3. Anyone know where I can run the VIN for free?

Theres quite a few differences between a 330Ci and an M3 lol



You should be able to tell visually from the wider fenders and a set of individual throttle bodies under the hood.

Post the last 7 digits of the VIN, I'll run it.
