I tried to run it on my 323i, and was told that my car is so old that carfax did not give that much info out. Matt I am not sure it will work - that detailed on your 2002.

Well it might, some guy told me that like the could have gotten new longer ones, mine on my 1977 320i is only like 7 digits, but my dad's old 2002 had a 14 digit VIN or w/e. If you need them ran, send me a PM

if you have a 14 digit vin it's probably a hot car!

My 2002 is not 14 digit, and it's all numbers.

the 14 digit vins were in 80 or 81 (the car fax site tells what year they started) my 79 is only 7 digits but does have a 14 digit vin stamped on it as well but won't work in car fax...

my 323i won't work because carfax doesn't know the vin since it's not an American market vin.

Why doesn't CARFAX supply Reports for cars made before 1981?

Question
Why can I not obtain a CARFAX Report on vehicles made before 1981?

Answer
We are unable to provide you with vehicle history information for vehicles manufactured prior to 1981, when the 17 character VIN became standard. The 17 character VIN is the code that is used to access CARFAX’s vehicle history information database.

To our knowledge there are no sources from whom pre-1981 vehicle history information is available readily. You could try to contact vehicle-specific clubs or groups focused on older vehicles.
