Maybe Dackel can tell us what BMW considers as 'production date': the day that a VIN is attributed/allocated to "something" (main body? chassis?) that will become a car, or the day that the car is finished and rolling of the factory production lines ? How many hours or days did it normally take to build a 1M. My guess is 1 or 2 days. The production line is pre-programmed and can handle all sorts of cars consecutively.
I would like to know this, as well. The production date for my 1M is listed on the site as 30 September 2011 (two years ago today!), but at some point I remember learning my car actually rolled off the production line on 1 October 2011, which was my daughter's 10th birthday. And on the black VIN tag inside the driver's side door frame it says "10/11". We'll probably keep celebrating October 1 as the date since my daughter is happy to share her birthday with our 1M.

Of course, 20 October 2011 was a pretty special day, too. Seems like only yesterday...
