The FA (vehicle order) is the factory build list for a BMW: every option code, production detail and the basis for coding and VO work. Retrieve it by VIN — 2 free VIN lookups per user per day, then $5 per additional lookup — and download the FA XML for E-Sys or ISTA, no car on the bench required.
We pull the vehicle order from BMW vehicle data for that VIN.
You see the model, production details and option count before downloading.
Save the FA file and load it in E-Sys or ISTA for coding or VO work.
Yes, with 2 different VINs per user per day free. Additional lookups cost $5 each. The free limit resets at midnight China time.
After the 2 free VINs, the page offers a $5 extra FA lookup. Pay via PayPal and the lookup starts automatically.
When the vehicle is not in the workshop, or a module has been replaced and the VO must be restored, the factory record is the reference. Retrieval works without connecting to the car.
It is the factory build record for the VIN, including the equipment codes BMW recorded for that vehicle. Later retrofits done outside the dealer network are not part of it.
Yes. Short VINs are resolved to the full VIN first; if several vehicles match, you choose the correct one.
