BMW 635CSi NJI7057.
I owned this car from 2001 - 2006 and it's currently shown as SORN on the DVLA site.
I converted it to manual, fitted a stainless exhaust system and re trimmed the interior in Blue Recaro with the leather dash top from a Highline 635.
Would love to have it back, so hopefully the current owner Google Searches it.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but try https://cazana.com gives you some idea of ownership change etc.

The pedal box, gearbox mountings, prop, clutch master cylinder all transfer straight over.
The wiring loom needs tricking into thinking that the car is in Neutral. (chop & join the wires for N)
The row of lights (PRNDL321) that sits on the back of the instrument pod needs removing, which is easy as it's just a push fit.
Buy a BMW Z3 gear lever as its a nice short shift conversion and rebush the gearbox linkages as this is pennies and easy to do when it's on the floor and a nightmare once it's in the car.
Gear lever gator fits in the hole that is left once you remove the auto selector surround from the centre console.
If your 635CSi is using a Motronic 1.1 system with the bell housing mounted sensors it will need the corresponding gear box.
If it is a Highline or a early L-Jet car you can use a manual box from any other M30 engined BMW.
Enjoy!
I would love if anyone in the know could find anything on my old Spirit Blue Fiesta ST2 FD13ZFK.
Unfortunately it was a Friday afternoon car and had a serious oil consumption issue (plus a couple of other things) that neither dealers or ultimately Ford wanted to do anything about/denied anything was wrong. I sold it back to the supplying dealer and believe it may have subsequently had a engine failure/lack oil situation shortly after the new owner bought it.
Never been able to find it exist on any of the free online checks and now not on askMID as insured.

Yout can go to the gov.uk website apply for a v888 form and ask for details about a car that used to be registered in your name for a good reason- and for a fee- 2.50-5.00I owned this car from 2001 - 2006 and it's currently shown as SORN on the DVLA site.

CoPart, HBC etc sell quite a few car to exporters to break or repair in other countries and being a 7 Series is quite likely to have gone that way.
Really, i did a car check, and it shows it not exported, I used to own a lovely 2000 Mercedes E320 CDI, registration W664 RNS but in 2009, my dad drove down the motorway, and it suddenly broke down, something to do with injectors.
I dont know who he sold it on to, but it shows it being exported it may have been broken but i dont know.
Where do you think W69 LCB may have went, i doubt another country, because it does not show it has gone to another country
The cars a way too good to break OR scrap, they should be put back on the road all I want to know is what really happened to it.
Anyone know a private investigator? or some one that works for copart uk that can help me and get these details? Because if copart gave the dvla the details then i would contact the dvla myself and just fill in a v888 form and pay the 5.00 fee..

Does wanting to buy it back count as a good reason?I thought I'd heard that due to data protection that it wasn't.

Probably not, maybe you should use an excuse to say that you forgot to give the documentation to the new owner, maybe service records or owners manuals or you could say that you took something off the car and you weee meant to include it in the sale but you didn't.
How long ago was this car sold?

Privately it's only meant to be used to obtain past history / details of past owners of a car you currently own, or can be used to obtain information about the listed owner in the event of an accident / long abandoned vehicle / someone parked on private land.
Asking for the location / contact details of a car because you "want to buy it back" would be a pretty unacceptable DPA breach by the DVLA. Similarly, the new poster asking if anyone from CoPart can start handing out car buyers details is pretty much the same thing.

Wanting to buy it back is definitely NOT a valid reason based on the .gov site link below.

Well in my case i want the persons details from copart because i want to list him as the new owner on the v5 i still have and im still liable for the vehicle and of course to give service records and the spare key.https://www.gov.uk/request-information-from-dvla
