There is a website where you can enter your VIN and get the readout of how your Six came from the factory.
Anybody know where this website is?
Here is one that gives the basic information, but it doesn't give what options came on the car though:
http://www.bmw-z1.com/VIN/VINdecode-e.cgi
If you want the option sheet email or post the last seven of the vin and I will pull it for you.
I always wanted to know what options the car came with originally, Thanks in advance! VIN 0608147
thanks!
0607850
CW6er, your 0608147 was built in 11/1986. Exterior code is 219-Luxor Beige Interior code is 0206-Pearl Beige Leather. It was sold retail on 1-30-1987 from the BMW store in Cincinati Ohio. It had the following options:
0209 Limited Slip Differential
0459 Power Front seats
0551 On-Board Computer
0946 pioneer radio/price dependancy
0290 17" alloy wheels
0533 Rear passenger temp control
0902 Press
0970 7 Series mats.
I think I remember someone else commenting a while back that if a car had the Press code in it, it meant that it went to a car magazine or something like that. Someone with a better memory than mine will hopefully comment on this for us.

I remember we ran into the press code meaning awhile back. I want to say BMW reused the code but I can't remember what the old 902 code was for. I remember 682 comes up as fabric rear seats but it is power antenna. Option code 0290 is not 17" wheels, it is the 255/55/15 bmw light alloy wheels that are 7j /15
I thought that was a bit odd...don't really know what happened. Thanks for the correction. Just wrote what I saw.
BMW Performance, how far up north are you from Mobile? Seems to be a small little group of 6ers from the Al, Fl, Ga, area...any interest in a small gathering at some near future time? Mine wasn't running during the Shark Fest and I don't really want to wait another year or so before the next one.

Here is a link to the codes on the sheet under the back seat:

and the link to the options codes:

Add me to the bunch....VIN 3265680
I am all for a mini sharkfest. Do we want to do it in the birth place of Southeaster sharkfest, Scottsboro? I am sure we can have run of the town like we did before with police escorts and the fire truck for bird’s eye view pictures. (the wheels are spinning in my head)
I am about 4 hours away from you in the Birmingham, Chattanooga, Atlanta triangle. There are also a lot of guy’s in Atlanta that would love to come over. If we do it up this way I have a buddy that has a very nice collection of e9s and other BMWs that I am sure would bring some of his cars out.

I am especially curious about my Canadian M6, since the first owner said it was upgraded with Hartge equipment, possibly by the dealer in Ontario.

Thanks much,

I was wondering who would be the first person to have a vin that would not pull up. The early cars for some reason don't show the option sheets. All I can tell you is:
Series: 6' E24
Model: 635CSi
Body: COUPE
Region: Europe
Manufactured: 09/1982
Engine: M30
Steering: Left
Transmission: Manual
BMW Performance, I think you and I are pulling from different sources, as your info looks different than mine from time to time. So I took a shot at looking this last one up in DSCnet and got the info: Chassis number unknown or blank to BMW NA...sorry I couldn't be of help either.
-Ray
PS. I'd love to get up with a few fellow 6ers in the region for a mini sharkfest. Just give me a little notice!
Thank you both for looking. I rekon its time to pull the back seat and see if the build sheet is still there.
