It aint witchcraft in case you were curious mr F / simply add any BMW reg to apply for a BMW warranty ( https://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/Login/Index ) then the website finds the VIN / chassis number :wink:
Additionally you can then put the last 7 digits into VIN checker to gain the info on the cars original build / spec sheet :)
Easy as that :thumbsup:

Where is the upto date crash list?
How many coupes and roadsters have been crashed (insurance total loss)?

After finding evidence of a crash when my car was fairly new. Just Makes you wonder how many cars have climbed lampposts and been repaired without going through the insurance
84’ E28 Alpina B9
83’ VW B2 Passat CL
90’ Mercedes 300E-24
90’ Vauxhall Carlton GSI 3000 24V manual
85’ Opel Ascona Cabriolet

If it's not been recorded a written off, how would you know if it had been in an 'almost write off' accident (like mine for example) that has been repaired by the insurance company with genuine parts versus an undeclared accident repair using 2nd hand, pattern parts?

Does a HPI check show this?
Trigger’s Z4MC
Some bits now over 163,000 miles, some less than 1,000 miles.

A hpi doesn't show this. It would take a trained eye to notice if a car had been in an accident whether or not it's been repaired by the insurance or not.
The biggest give away is white powder between panels and in crevices. It gets everywhere.
