Mdecoder.com info shown question

When your VIN first shows up on mdecoder, is it missing info that will show up later?
When I enter mine I see it finally showing now, but with very little options info compared to VINs I look at from late last year that show considerably more information.

My understanding is once the VIN is assigned then it should reflect your build as it is in production. This was my case.

What's missing? Others with more experience tracking may chime in.

All I can share is my vehicle has been delivered a few weeks ago and it still only shows basic info and nowhere near the detail I have seen on others by just changing one number, etc. Not sure why? The options were correct on the car though.

It's very basic in detail, almost like it's an un-optioned M50i showing info before adding any options, but even a lot of what would be standard on it aren't showing. Much of it is wrong too, Vernasca showing instead of Merino and the wrong leather color, base audio system, adaptive lighting not laser. I'm assuming at some point it updates, wish it was before delivery but based on yours Mtn2Srf I'm guessing it may not happen till later. Here's a side by side of what mine shows now vs. how much more is shown on one built a few months ago. (Mine is similarly optioned to the one on the right so should look similar)

@scotchy I would check with your SA to be sure. Not showing all details is one thing but showing the same wrong options seems odd.

Yeah in Canada we've no access to my garage (idk if options show in there) so everything has to be done through your SA.
He confirmed last week that the order was correct when he sent me the vin, hopefully it's all good!

For my first order, I experienced the same thing. Even after car was fully built (correctly), MDecoder only showed very basic options and not the ones I actually selected and which the car was ultimately built with. I wouldn't trust MDecoder. As long as everything is correct on MyGarage, you should be good to go.

Thanks, yeah here's another example of something a little off, note the production date, lol.

Yes, mine looks like the one on the left 1-11-20 prod date and 1/30 delivery. All generic but the color, trim and interior are correct. In the end, the X5 came out perfect though.

Apparently somehow my build got messed up so I've a new VIN.
Build week is now 9, 1st one was 8. New VIN isn't showing in Mdecoder yet, fingers crossed it's correct this time!!

When I give my VIN insert to mdecoder I see only some of my option. It is normal?

Mdecoder showing the same for me, next to nothing. I paid a few quid for a full report from AutoDNA.com and every single option is listed.
I only did this because I phoned my SA a few weeks after I placed my order to add an option (craftedGlass) and wanted to check it made it through to the build...
Peace of mind!!

Same here. Nothing via mdecoder and a full report with all the options with autodna. I don't get it because some people get everything with mdecoder.

This is good to know. Because mine is supposed to be completed on July 19, with a decent number of options ordered, and mdecoder is really not showing any of the options. Glad it's got this though:

S845 Acoustic Fasten Seat Belt Reminder

All looks correct on the BMW My Garage site, so hopefully they get it right.

Im having the same issue here with an G06 order that's currently on 5300 (Pre Assembly start) and have a VIN, but MDecoder is giving me next to no options, just a few basic things.

Prod week 28

-What is this My Garage everyone is speaking of ? is this something US exclusive ? (Im based in the UK)-

Edit: I figured it out, never mind that question

Would this be considered a full report? It does contain all options that I've ordered.
