Motorsport Convertible Id numbers

[madaboutthe30]

Hey guys, I was flicking through pistonheads in the e30 section, and I came across the below add:
http://pistonheads.com/sales/1361227.htm

If you guys read the post the seller states

" no.5 of the 250 made (as trademarked inside of bonnet)

Where does it say that?

I haven't noticed anywhere on my motorsport, especially in the bonnet stating what number out of 250 mine is..........Is the seller telling fibs?

I know one way of finding out what number out of 250 yours is, it to take the rear bench off and there is a sticker under there saying what number it is, which mine does have, but is there any other way of finding out?

If any of you could shed some light on this

The other way is asking your local dealer, just give them the VIN and they should tell you.

It's a nice looking car but IIRC mine says the same on it's VIN plate...250/5

[madaboutthe30]

Ahh, hang on Skipunda your saying that it will be on the VIN number right?

[skipunda]

Hang on I have a pic somewhere...

[madaboutthe30]

Ok thanks Skipunda, I look forward to seeing the pic

[madaboutthe30]

Thankyou Skipunda, where was that VIN plate located?

[brewer]

lift the bonnet up and stand near the battery and look near the lights and its there on the panel

[madaboutthe30]

Thanks Brewer, Ill take a look

Hey guys, I know this thread was a while ago, I just got down to taking a look now at the plate.........Skipunda are you sure yours is 250/5 as thats the same number mine has lol

I think the 250/5 means something else

Are yours and skipundas motorsports the same colour, because if they are different colours then its perfectly fine.
For example if yours is Macau blue, it is number 5 out of 250 produced and Skipunda's is Sebring grey then his will obviously be number 5 out of 250 sebring grey motorsports.

But if you both have Motorsports in the same colour and it says number 5 out of 250 on the both of yours then you have something to worry about

[town325i]

that number is meaning less to when it was produced it could be a code for the colour of the interior

[Brianmoooore]

The 250 on that VIN plate is the car's colour!! The 5 is the shade of that colour.
Same number should be on the LH suspension turret.

Oh ok, that makes sense...

there still remains the matter or what Id number my car is
