Build Sheet Codes

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Recently when i had the back seats out I found my build sheet stapled up under there.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the different codes mean, I had a bit of a google search and couldnt find anything definitive, mainly just people comparing buildsheets and guessing what the codes meant depending on common options etc between themselves.

According to my build sheet my car was finished(Im assuming its the time it was finished) at 6.13am on the 27th of November 1986. Just thought it was (kinda) interesting to know exact times etc haha.

The different build codes I have are : 0201, 0215, 0300, 0311, 0350, 0400, 0497, 0812, 0850.

Any help will be appreciated, although its not like i desperately need to know, Im just curious...

Thanks

Yeah mine was just folded up and stapled into a groove on the underside of the back seat.

No, most cars are delivered with the buildsheet hidden somewhere in the car. I'll see if I can find the 1 I got from BMW.

Found it.

I decided to scan mine in just then, along with another strange sheet that i found glued to the back of the back part of the rear seats, I have no clue whatsoever what it is...

My buildsheet is quite different to Cains one posted above, Its an old school dot matrix printed one on the paper with the holes along the sides and is all in german with no explanation of the codes...The scan looks a tad CG for some reason, to me anyway...

Cost me nothing. But I had a pretty good relationship with their service department back then.

Did some research on this a while back trying to find out what's on my car. Found a list and made into Excel sheet.

I can't seem to upload it, so if you are interested, give me a PM with your e-mail addy. I'll send that through.

The green tint in the glass is probably referring to the tint across the top of the windscreen, not the entire windscreen.

Mine was referred to as Green stripe windscreen.

Also the additional tank is a fuel fill for export. Have a read of mine versus whatever spreadsheet you are reading from. Maybe the German's lost a little in translation.

I think you will find all E30's have a tint - either brown or green although only subtle

BTW Cheers Cain for the info - very interesting
