Default German car facts site

Hey guys, i need to know if there is a site , where you can search german car facts. Like the last service a car has had, the owners, the km....and all that stuff. You just enter the VIN of the car, and you get the answers.

I know that in USA there is www.carfax.com and in Austria is www.oeamtc.at ....but I want to know if there is such a site in germany, and whats the adress.....

Thanks

Thats the thing, we brought a car that doesent have a servic book....and we said it had the kilometers faked, and thats why, I wanted to find out if there is a site where I cand find out the car history only using its VIN. I have the vin from the cars papers. And the computer tester doesnt tell you that if the kilometers were faked......

what kind of car is it?
right. Mileage on BMW is stored in 3 different modules just for this reason. In later models, there is usually i dot that comes on near the odometer that indicates a mileage discrepancy in the vehicle if it is storing mileage in another module.

Lex, take it to a dealer and ask them to check the vin. if it's new enough, it should pull up it's warranty history and at least tell you which dealer it was being serviced at. From there you may be able to find out if what you have is the true mileage.
