NB310 engine, style, features
9 parity check

Do you know your production week and delivery week?
Production week 36, delivery week 37. I think the car has already been produced. Week 36 according to my calculations is Sept 19th.

Hey, bmwin14rsm, my car's VIN ends in 088690. Looks like our cars will be rolling off the assembly line at around the same time. My car was supposed to be a week 36 production. We'll see.

Keep me posted on any updates on your car and I'll do the same!
