Strange, but true. Shortly after getting my E34, I went off to the local Stealer to get some parts. When checking against their catalogue, they told me my VIN identifies my car as an E28, and was I sure it's an E34? I mean, really!! Can't you *see* the difference? Anyway, I never gave it another thought - until now. I was checking this link out of curiosity http://www.bmw-z1.com/VIN/VINdecode-e.cgi and guess what? It reports my car as : Vehicle Code = DC78, Series = E28, Production Date = 1989/12. All the other info supplied seems correct. Anybody out there experienced an incorrect VIN? And how is it possible to have the incorrect VIN? Or is the VIN database simply wrong, even though the local BMW dealer also said I drive an E28.
