... The BMW archive again? I can't seem to get it to work with my VIN.

Just enter the last 7 digits of your VIN number, mine for example starts with T and is followed by 6 numbers. It can only be done once your car is built.

Hmm. My car is built. Could you remind me of the link? Maybe I'm using the wrong site?

Thanks. It doesn't work, maybe it takes a while before they're updated.

Picking up the car today so will see it for real.

Oh I thought there were actual pics but it's just a mock up

 

[texy]

So have you got it working then?
One strange thing I noticed is this :
S698A Area-Code 2 for DVD
I don't have a DVD player as far as I know..........

Although in the mock up pictures, my steering wheel is on the wrong side - well I hope it is, lol.

Yeh I saw that too. But the screen does play video I think

 

[texy]

Indeed it does according to posts on this forum, although not when te vehicle is moving, for safety reasons.

Mine's on the right, and I'm in the UK, so it seems to be right for me.

In the model description it does state
Steering rechts

which I hope means Right !

This VIN check is fun... you can see the specifications that other people have chosen and, of course, check your own!

My car was built on June 12th and I should have it next week.

Looking at the VIN numbers either side of mine, they obviously build batches of cars in the same colour... but this was not obvious when I took the factory tour a couple of weeks ago.

I wonder if the widely varying delay times that people are experiencing is due, in part, to the way they are building cars in colour batches?

My Cooper D was due to be delivered in early May (before the engine issues)... not long to wait now.

I wondered about that... thanks.

Let's hope a less common colour is worth waiting for...
