this is the link.

does anyone else know of a way of tracking the information to its exact build date or build week?

have email'd the bmw car club but they wont get back to me for a while i imagine

Order a certificate of authenticity from BMW gets you the day it rolled out the factory so in Munich I guess they have these data, but I don't know if they supply that date through another channel. If a little less accurate info is good enough this is a worthy link:

the BMW club uk have offered to write us a letter confirming the pre 73 build date if we join

good times

Do you still need the exact build date ?

not really but it could be useful, do you know how?

Yup.

I'll find out for you. BMW's own records dont date back that far. I gave them my vin number for my 2002 and they tried to tell me its a E30 325ix built for the American market. Its becuase the structure of the VIN number changed and as it happens, the the VIN number for my 2002 is/was the last 7 digits of the E30. Its alot of hassle buying parts from MD.

On a seperate note, we took delivery of a Brand Spanking Mercedes E250 Blueefficiency yesterday. It broke down today and was recovered back to Mercedes Oxford.

Morale of the Story, stick to BMW !!!!!!!!!!!!

blue efficiancy sucks ass! the injectors fire too often and f*** themselves

also some C class cars have naughty lieing fuel guages whic run out of fuel

oh and our 2002 is apparantly a 750i according to bmw
