Hi Guys,
I remember someone once posted a link to help decode the VIN. Somehow, the link is no longer accessible. Any ideas on what this number means?
B353064.
Thanks....

My guess is your build would be earlier than Jul04. I am having difficulties to get it to do the check for me at the moment.

I just tried the decoder and it says I have a 525d, series E60, built 2002/02! My car is an '05 545i. I didn't know they were building E60s in 2002! Anybody know of a VIN decoder that works...??!!
