I am new to the Board, but finally close to buying my Z8. My main question is where do I look on the various body panels for the VIN stickers/impressions? Is there a website link with a picture of the locations? The tips here are great. I have flown once to see the car, agreed on terms, had the local BMW dealer inspect, etc.. However I am not convinced that the BMW dealer's rep.'s affirmative nods at my questions to verify the buying questions on the Board list really meant they actually did it, and the "report" they gave me did not indicate the kind of detail I would like. In fairness, they did find the common things I have seen here, like the radio problem and mirror bubble. However, before I fly out again to verify the repairs that were agreed and seal the deal. I'd like to look at those VIN numbers myself. Thanks for your help.
