Production number is just a matter of Interpolation! What confuses people is the fact that the Production Cars started at 98021 (July 03) not as you might think at 98000.
The first car off the line was pre-poduction and numbered 001 (Sept 02), followed by another 6 all of which were pre-production models and finished on Vin 012, numbers 003, 006, 008, 009 & 010 were not used.
If you want your production number send a PM and I'll see what I can do.
PS: The build data available does not correspond with the magical '422' if you take that as being written in tablets of stone?
I was told(not sure if it is true)that the last 3 digits of your vin number was your build number e.g mine is 099.we should get as many as we can to add their name and last 3 digits to see if it makes sense.

Hence why I said I was told but weren't sure if it was true.
But surely BMW somewhere knows how to identify the production numbers and how to identify build orders.
They probably do, but it would take 'effort' to find out, which is a rare commodity these days.
I waited patiently at the BMW Parts counter the other day for 20mins before someone asked me "Are you being served?" to which I replied "No I Bl__dy well wasn't" humble and profuse apologies followed.
Symptomatic of today's society.:banghead:
