Yes the whole VIN is unique. BMW seem to be 'recycling' the last 7 digits though the other digits in that VIN will be different and thus still unique.
e.g. WBAKS420000J43941 new VIN (X5 40d 2014)
WBAJW780020J43941 old VIN (could be some 80's BMW)
i.e. last 7 digits recycled though the whole VIN's are still unique.
