Mike,   The official certificate is issued by BMW Group Classic and contains 100% of the info you get in email form if you request your car’s data from BMW Group Archives, as quoted by Chris

You are simply just wiser, me thinks.  But a Benjermin does seems a high price to pay for the same info. Me, I am just cheap.

Good to know that I can also check on realOEM. I have a ‘74 and reached out to the archive around the holidays to get information. I got a response that they’d return this week so hoping to get some d

I can confirm if you put your vin # into realoem.com it will tell you the correct production month of your car.

I'm just getting going and learning how to find info in here... when I enter my VIN into realoem I get a South African E32, not my '73 tii. The key is that it only works for 74 and newer.

 

I'd love to find those VIN charts.

 

Email sent to BMW Group Archive as a first try to learn more

Meanwhile, the ‘02 VIN decoder provided by the BMW 2002 Car Club of Columbia is accurate, without being date-specific.

Have you checked out VIN’s close to your car’s in the forum’s Registry? Have you checked manufacturing dates on some of the many dated components, e.g., engine block, head, trans, diff, rims, instruments, lights? Are your front seat headrest supports 10mm or 12mm in diameter — the switchover occurred in late January 1973, with VIN 2763352?

Thanks for the reply to my first post! Appreciate the info and resources - I’ll check out everything mentioned. As for the headrest… I need to get them to break free to be able to measure diameter. 🙂

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
