Somehow my vin is showing up as 2005.

Armen52 · 06-01-2005, 11:10 PM

Like the page says, its only up to date with the January 2005 version of the BMW information CD.

My E90 330i VIN # comes up as an E46 318td so that page is clearly not set up to decode E90 VIN #'s yet. You shouldn't worry. I don't think you have the wrong VIN or a 2005 car

ldpantoja · 06-01-2005, 11:19 PM

This is what came up for mine which is BS

Chassis number AZ86275
Vehicle code AV12
Series E46
Model 320i ( 320iM54 )
Body type saloon
Catalog model ECE
Production date 2000 / 01
Engine M54
Transmission Unknown
Steering Right
Catalyzer YES

Mine is a 330i E90

I did, nothing came out, I think its cuz my car wont get to port till the 19th

ldpantoja · 06-02-2005, 04:12 AM

That should not matter. I got the VIN back when they started production

segobi · 06-02-2005, 04:50 AM

anyone got a "P" in their vin ?

timzerofive · 06-02-2005, 10:52 AM

I do.
I got a P for plant location. Also, my dealer didn't give me all 17 digit, they gave me the last 7 and said everything in front is the same. So I looked up someone else's vin and copied it. Problem is I realized there's a check digit in there, so I tried searching on yahoo from 0-9 and only number 1 pulled up a report, so I'm assuming thats it. When I tried to register on bmw owner's club it still says the vin is invalid.

Looks like yours is a late April /May 2005 E90 330i USA model

E90Fleet · 06-02-2005, 11:28 AM

P is the newer code for the Regensburg plant

segobi · 06-02-2005, 11:37 AM

Dont know, maybe we can find out

latest i have is

A, F, K Munich
B, C , D, G Dingolfing
E, J, P Regensburg
L North Carolina USA
N South Africa

If anybody has a E90 with another number it may be Leipzig

RedStripe · 06-22-2005, 03:54 AM

Is there a reason for multiple codes for the same place. For example, Munich has A, F, and K. Are there three different plants in Munich? Or maybe one large plant, but three different assembly lines? Thanks.

They ran out of old ones, the VIN has a specific length

New cars will only have the newer letters
