Does The Vin Include The Date Of Manufacture? - BMW Forum

325eXTATIC · 07-20-2005, 08:35 AM

Hey all, I was just curious if I could find the date of manufacture for my car from the VIN code? Or is there somewhere else I can look for that? More than anything it is just to answer my own curiosity, but I also know some manufacturing changes took place in mid model years, so it might be good to know in the future!

Thanks again!

On the verical door rail, drivers side is a decal that has, among other items, the production date.

You know what, I actually KNEW THAT, DUH! I can't believe I even asked that one! SHEESH!

Thanks for the help!

with the last 7 of a bmw vin you can pretty much find out everything you want to know about the vehicle.
