I'm new to the forum. Just purchased a 2002 540i and would like to know all of the options. Does anyone know how to decode the VIN.
Thanks,
AMGman
The VIN won't tell you what options the car was built with. For that you need to be able to pull up the build sheet data from the production database and that can only be done by a dealer.
The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Call BMW NA. Give them the VIN and they can tell you build date, options, etc.
2001 530i, Sport/Premium
tell me the last 7 of the vin and i'll tell ya all bmw knows, which is actually alot...
You could try looking under the back seat. There was an original build sheet that was left loose, in the back of the car at the time of construction, under the back seat cushion. It might still be there.

Are you serious about the "build sheet" under the rear seat?? Would it be the same for a wagon?
how about cf01879
'01 530i Sport(RED)
'90 Miata(work car)
Hmmm, interesting.
