Made for your car, by VIN
The same model can differ by engine, transmission, body, and trim. That’s why we don’t sell a generic file: after payment, you give us your vehicle’s VIN, and we save the matching service information directly from the manufacturer’s official technical information website. You get the information that applies to your car—no guessing between years, engines, or versions.
Factory information you can put to work
- Review repair procedures before starting a job (from routine maintenance to major repairs)
- Understand component layouts with technical illustrations (procedures are explained step by step)

About the 2018 BMW i3 REx
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2018 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “J”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 8 years old, a 2018 vehicle is usually past its basic warranty. Typical jobs at this age are brakes, suspension parts, fluids, the 12V battery and diagnosing sensor faults with the factory wiring diagrams.
