These VIN decoders are obsolete since mid-2019 when BMW started reusing the last 7 characters of the VIN. Only the full VIN is now unique. Some decoders recognize this and ask you to enter the full VIN or offer to choose the correct car from the ones that match those 7 characters, others just pull the first VIN that matches.

For a second I thought that the site would start listing my actual and future mod list as well! Absolute accuracy and only now I know the exact day of my car's production, 08.08.2011.

My 135is shows up as a 135i. Anyone else with an 'is' try this?

Updated. The 135is is a uc93. Should have known that.

Yes, but why does power show up as 225kw, which is 300hp, instead of however many kw would be 320hp?

Now we can all know the exact birthday of our BMW cars.

Maybe Dackel can tell us what BMW considers as 'production date': the day that a VIN is attributed/allocated to "something" (main body? chassis?) that will become a car, or the day that the car is finished and rolling of the factory production lines ? How many hours or days did it normally take to build a 1M. My guess is 1 or 2 days. The production line is pre-programmed and can handle all sorts of cars consecutively.
