Afternoon all,

I'm at work at the minute and I'm trying to work out the last seven digits of my VIN so that I can order a paint touch up kit from the dealer. I know the last 5 digits off the top of my head but can't remember the other two- can any one help me by telling me what a the VIN numbers range from for an M3?

Thanks in advance,
Aaron

The reg doesn't work (allegedly) due to it being an import. I do know the colour but allegedly the chassis number will ensure a better colour match.

As Aaron said, one colour can have different codes, which could mean a slightly different shade, Matt, who's VIN number is that??

Oh well, probably too late in the day now to get the dealer to order it for tomorrow now so I'll take my chances tomorrow and try and find a dealer with it in stock.
