I wonder what the number is for the triple layer... I think that's what I got. Must have spent 30 hours removing that from my engine bay

Cosmoline is great, not sure why anyone would want to remove it, its rust proofing on steroids.

What does 0032, 0904 reference? What 16" wheels is 0281 referencing?

941 - On modern BMWs it means external retrofitting. For example, a BMW Service car would have this option. On older BMWs it means a special request. I'm not 100% certain about this option, but I'm 99% sure it has nothing to do with extra coating. Where did you see this option? Is it on the buildsheet that you got under the seat or on the buildsheet that you can get online?


904 - Again, this is an internal code which are hard to verify since they are not used in sales documents. I believe 904 means that the car is intended for government tests and compliance checks.

0281 - If this is for E30, then it means, Light-alloy wheels, Style 5, 6.5Jx14 with 195/65 tires
