May have an answer to 'What does production date on mdecoder.com" mean or refer to.
Looking at vpegany's post
https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1686936
he posted a timeline and his VIN. Looking at the timeline from the BMW site, production started on Dec 11th and completed before the 23rd.
On mdecoder.com, the production date listed is Dec 20th.

That tells me when you look at mdecoder.com and see your production date, that should be after the quality check is done and your car is getting ready to ship. i.e.
Production Complete Date
Someone check my logic.
