Ordered a new 2014 335......question regarding VIR

ERdiesel · 07-29-2013, 01:27 PM

Hi all,

I placed an order for a new 2014 335 and I was provided a VIR. The VIR lists all of the options I chose for my build, however none of options that come "standard" with the 335 such as xenons, alarm, moonroof, etc. are listed in the VIR. I assume that the VIR will only list the non standard options such as the various packages (tech, line, premium, etc. and other options) that the buyer has selected and none of the standard items included with every build, but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

You are fine. None of the standard things are listed, just the base car and the options you ordered.

Once you get the VIN you can check the decoder site to get a better idea of what is included with the car as well, both standard and options/packages are on there.

I really like this one: http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

It's in German but if you use Google Chrome it will translate it for you.

The VIN decoder only works after the car has finished production.
