I received my VIN# and it starts from WBAPH7C55****** . According to VIN diagram, 4 chars following WBA should match one of the AG codes from 2010 ordering guide:
Series\Model Descr\ E Code\NA Code\AG Code\Engine\SOP
328i Sedan E90 1044 PH73 N52/3.0 UL 09/09
328i Sedan (S. Africa) E90 1045 PH77 N51/3.0 UL 09/09
328i Sedan (S. Africa) SULEV E90 1082 PH57 N51/3.0 UL 09/09
328i Sedan SULEV E90 1048 PH53 N51/3.0 UL 09/09
But neither matches my PH7C... not only for 328 but in the whole 2010 ordering guide list of models\codes. I expected to get PH73 though, as according to order details I have, my NA code is 1044.
I checked carrier's website and figured there's around 43 cars with PH7C in their VINs currently in transit versus around 255 cars with PH73.
Any idea on what PH7C is? Anybody has a car with such sequence in their VIN?
Well, my wild guess is C in Hex is 12. 1 + 2 = 3 But there must be something that justifies use of C over 3, maybe other than just the reason of running out of numbers. I'm just curious.
Another guess is C - stands for 'C'ustom order, versus numbers according to the Order Guide might be for cars preordered by dealerships according to quotas with no particular customer in mind.
Hi there! My VIN sequence is WBAPK7C5XAAxxxxxx.
I have 2010 328xi Sedan
From what I've been able to learn:
WBA => Mfg. Code
W=Germany
B=BMW Germany
A=Passenger Car
PK7C => Model Code
P= (328i)?
K= (Line) ?
7=Body Type, Sedan
C= Passenger (but that would be redundant):dunno:
5=Restraint system, selt belts, etc
X=VIN check digit
A=Model Year, so here it means 2010
A= Plant Code, A=Munich
xxxxxx=last six digits are the sequential production numbers, but I do not know if each mean anything.
You might already know all of this, but in case not, hope it helps!
Hmm I just noticed I have PM7C. Which doesn't match with the plant codes posted.
My E90 was built at Regensburg. E90s are also built in Rosslyn (S. Africa), Leipzig Plant, and Munich. I imagine each factory has its own P-code, it only makes sense.
I noticed it came up when the vin was ran.
