Curious VIN History

[ClayW]

Does this make my sedan different/Euro?

I got the following information on my VIN from BMW:

The BMW 325i US VIN ED14681 was manufactured on December 3rd, 1990 and delivered on December 6th, 1990 to the BMW UK (department for Direct Sales) - maybe for a US citizen living there. The original colour was Brilliant Red, paint code 308.

We hope this information is helpful for you.

Interesting that a US-spec car was ordered and delivered in the UK. For the record, my car has plain ol' US ellipsoids and US-spec lighting, but I'm wondering if I should be looking for any other European-spec stuff on the car.

Thoughts?

European delivery of other spec cars isn't an uncommon occurrence. In this case the car will be exactly the same as what you'd get purchasing it in the US.

Only 3 days from manufacturing to delivery? That seems fast, but I don't know much about auto manufacturing.

Thanks! Good to know.

Now I'm curious about the previous owners.
