BMW M3 Build Numbers

[Inizes]

Is there a good/easy way to figure out combinations of production numbers? I know there is a website that will give you exterior color/body style/trans, but no interior combos.

Any way to tell how many of a specific interior were produced? Example, how many total Dove Gray coupe interior compared to M-Texture Coupe?

Nope but I found out there are 294 original m texture interiors for the North American market.

Interested in this aswell. Would like to know how many lsb interiors there are.

I found out from Duck, but he has a private guy who he pays for that information. I think I saw there is another forum where someone runs them, but I never got admin approval to join that one.

SickFinga over on MaxBimmer which is a Toronto based BMW forum is the guy that can get production numbers. He works for BMW NA.

They have the option for interior but don't show the stats for it. I'd love to know how rare my factory specced m-tex manual rhd is. Definitely not many in NZ.

^ Does’t give stat for Manual vs SMG either. Although has a window for transmission.

And mine is one of them! I was hunting for a ZCP, but then i found an imola red slick top with manual m texture seats and figured that was far better than a steering wheel button.

I have one too! Not original to the car though

Thank you for the info. Glad to know I'm one of the 294. Mine was built in May 2006 so she's probably one of the last one to leave the factory with this option.
