Decode exactly what BMW fitted at the factory, with original prices.
BMW offers one of the most extensive option lists of any manufacturer. A 3 Series can leave the factory with anything from the base specification to over £15,000 in extras. Technology Pack, M Sport Plus, Harman Kardon audio, adaptive suspension, comfort access, head-up display: each adds real value, but only if you can verify they're actually fitted. The VIN build record is the only definitive source.
Enter the registration and FactorySpecs decodes the VIN against BMW's build database. You get every factory-fitted option with its BMW option code and original retail price. Typical results show 4 to 12 paid options, often totalling £3,000 to £12,000 in original extras. Packs are identified separately from individual options, so you can see exactly what's inside a "Technology Pack" or "M Sport Plus Package".
The options that have the biggest impact on used value include: M Sport or M Sport Plus Package, Technology Pack (includes navigation, head-up display, and driving assistant), Harman Kardon surround sound, adaptive M suspension, Vernasca or Merino leather, metallic or Individual paint, and comfort access keyless entry. A well-specified BMW can be worth £2,000 to £5,000 more than an identical base model.
Enter any BMW registration into FactorySpecs. The free check gives you MOT history, tax status, and vehicle identity. The full report adds every factory option with prices, Glass's Guide valuations, and the complete HPI layer. BMW is one of the strongest makes in the database, with excellent coverage across all models from 1 Series to X7.
Yes. FactorySpecs covers BMW models from 2010 onwards with full factory option data. Older BMWs may have limited option coverage but will still get the full MOT, valuation, and history report.
Yes. MINI is part of the BMW Group and uses the same VIN encoding. Enter the MINI registration and FactorySpecs decodes it with the same level of detail as a BMW.
BMW uses 3-character alphanumeric codes for each option (like 7A2 for Technology Pack or 688 for Harman Kardon). FactorySpecs shows both the code and the plain-English description with the original price, so you don't need to decode them yourself.
