WOW..........
I thought some of you might like to know what the original order spec' was for your cars but WOW!
over 1000 veiws in less than 24 hours!!
Maybe we could all cut and paste that info to our profiles to allow others to know what was factory fitted for easier fault resolution. What do you guys think??

If only we could decode the e34 VIN properly ourselves. Could make a web-form that would do it and put it on the forum. I think Shogun had a link at some point but it didn't do the lot. I only say this as it'd save you looking up 10,000 e34s AusM.Originally Posted by Ausmpower
I really like the idea of it being listed in our profiles though. I'd do that for sure. If it's pasted into a lot of sigs, they will get really long and our index fingers could seize up...

Not a a sig but as part of your "Biography' perhaps.....
DAMN tried it but it's too long.
Maybe the board admin could create a "vin detail" column under our public profiles for us to add this crucial information?
I reckon it's great information to have handy when someone ask's can I retrofit a BMW stacker to my tape deck? or
Do i have heated seats/ Mirrors?
Did my car come with XXX option?
Do i have an LSD?
ADMIN GOD'S are you there????![]()

Biography is around 90 characters maximumIf they can be pasted into a spreadsheet this could be put online easily enough- then people could add a link in their sigs to their particular part. Just needs to have someone as the designated updater and an online host to store it on. I'd be happy to do this.
Dunno what else to suggest...Nick

The order sheet thingy for mine doesnt have heated seats on it, but my car doesnt have heated seats. Maybe they are standard with the electric seats in some regions?Originally Posted by Ausmpower

Here's a link to a quasi-VIN decoder "borrowed" from another board (I used to have an E46 ///M3..Originally Posted by genphreak
) Not the greatest, as it's not as detailed as Aus' but at least you get some information...
aka "BMRSEB" - USA
As Paul in NZ said, we all have this innate desire to know.
Most of us have received some surprises too - I thought the handling & cornering were because of a limited slip diff, which I don't have, not the sport suspension which I apparently do have.
Thanks for all your trouble.
