Yes, you're right. That's a brilliant way to help you remember what the code is.
What doesn't make sense, though, is why whoever sold the car to you (or a previous owner if there was one) did so without telling you it was there. Seems like it was just a careless mistake.

The previous owner never knew it was there. That radio had been in the dash from the day it left the factory to the day I pulled it out last week.

The general knowledge that BMW radios have that code is the main deterant. Has anyone ever had his bmw broken into to get the radio here????

Obviously this was an overlooked detail at the factory. I just find it funny.

If it was an 8 track, I could follow your logic.
Those are kick ass.
