Celebrate Your Car's Birthday

Huz-Z · 05-15-2012, 01:17 PM

I found this Russian BMW site on another forum:

http://www.rubmw.ru/vincode/eng/

Surprisingly, it has the precise production date for your car. Horsepower is in kilowatts. Most everything else is surprisingly accurate.

Mine drives like "Heck". LOL

Newff · 05-15-2012, 02:57 PM

I get no results

That is weird, it works fine for me, even gets the color and color code correct.

When you type in the last seven digits of your VIN, after LX, that is a zero, not the letter O. Could that be the problem?

Are you using an iPad there? I am using one now at home and it won't work for me. Pm me your vin and I'll try at work in the morning.

No it's entered as a zero and I'm on the computer at work, weird.

Just tried it on my iPad and it worked fine the first time . The second time I tried it didn't. Cleared the cookies and tried again and it worked fine again.

Still won't work! Must be something finicky on the iPad.

renesis · 05-15-2012, 08:35 PM

nice find!

sept 28th 2006 for mine!

Z4MLover2012 · 05-16-2012, 12:10 PM

Works great! My car's birthday is 6/18/2008.

Alpacamack · 05-17-2012, 08:02 AM

Cool site, found out my cars production date was the day after my 50th birthday.

Z4maniac · 05-17-2012, 11:45 AM

Great site, just found that mine was produced 5 days prior to my birthday..thats a coincidence!

jthorst75 · 05-17-2012, 11:58 AM

Found out mine's this Sunday (5/20). So what do I do? Change the oil, fill up the tank?

That's a good start, how about a detail, maybe some wheels or some mod you've been waiting to do. It's all about figuring out excuses to spend money on mods haha

jthorst75 · 05-17-2012, 05:47 PM

Its already detailed, its done once a week and its pretty much modded to where I want it. So with the mods and detailing, the appreciation part should be covered. Maybe I can name a star after it?
