[MBZ] OT: Carfaxes?
Teenage son has 84 BMW 318i. Stopped because tabs expired, policeman noticed VIN didn't match plates, threatened impoundment. Son told to park car. I visited said car, noticed 2 different VINs, one on dash, another on doorpost (which matched plates)! New tabs successfully obtained, but would a carfax reveal if the car a front clip or what?

Sounds like you bought two cars in one in July 2002. If the seller (used car dealer, right?) didn't disclose this, you've got a lawsuit to file. Material misrepresentation.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Carfaxes?
Interesting to see what the motor and transmission number come back to which VIN. The firewall and main dash/drivers VIN should match, not matching is a bad thing. Could be that the car was tagged. get an attorney the goal is not to lose your monetary investment. Park the car inside a locked garage AND remove the battery and a tire. This is so the guys that did this originally won't come and get the car and destroy the evidence leaving you to collect the insurance from your carrier.
