BMW VIN must be longer than 7 digits.... IBM product license serial numbers at 7 digits would make more sense.

- devy 11y agoYes, VIN numbers are 17-characters long, but only the last 7 characters are unique, called "sequential number".[1] The first 10 characters are composed of make, model, year etc. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number
- sjwright 11y agoBMW only ever cares about the last 7 digits of your VIN, as demonstrated on their iDrive software update page: http://www.bmw.com/update http://www.bmw.com/update (an example code would be "J123456")
