Every detail about your car's original build

Turns out my car had M Sport suspension as an option, which might make a ton of sense. The BMWPS I ordered came with a rear sway bar, but the factory sway bar is the same as the BMWPS, so only MSport's get it... aha!

Didn't know I was pre-wired for Sirius satellite radio, which is good to know during resale. Anyhow, check it out. Pretty cool.

My original MSRP was $53,790, about $5k more than I assumed.

Where does it state the MSRP...I know what mine was but is it listing on the free site...

austinla335d · 07-21-2014, 05:12 PM

It's a paid feature. I only found this because my dealer printed out from the site and they are paid members I suppose. Either way. Pretty cool and very useful for sellers/buyers.

I don't envy you. If I had to drive my D where you live I'm certain there'd be a freeway shooting.

Pick a freeway ... 101, Blam! ... 280, Ka-chink, Blam! ... Don't even get me started on 580 and 880 ...

Is it Opposite Day where rude comments are perceived as otherwise?

Portland is RAD though. Worst public education and most strip clubs per capita, but we love it anyway.

The VW crew are a hemp bunch.

I had a 2012 6-spd Golf TDI 4-dr with a tune before the D. It was extremely boring, but efficient.

Mine was spot on too.

Pierre Louis · 07-25-2014, 05:40 AM

It got my interior wrong as well as not listing some options.

austinla335d · 07-25-2014, 12:12 PM

Mine is spot on. Maybe it needs some work!

temporaptor · 07-26-2014, 01:13 AM

I used this decoder over the last few weeks while shopping. It's a great way to separate the seller BS from reality. I was able to find the exact car I wanted and confirm with certainty what the build actually is. Great tool!
