LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted May 16, 2018 Intriguing and exciting, Is it plausible it was made in SA for the UK? another option is L812 NATIONAL VERSION GREAT BRITAIN https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/vin/decoder/ES91857/EN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as i know none of the SA build of E36 was sold new in the UK, and the ZA factory only looks to have built 4-Door saloon versions (LIM) of the E36, no coupes. Option code is the differently programmed ECU, though no idea what it does! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
