elmarco 56 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 Any idea where I can get a full list of the options chosen on my particular car? Is it available online or do I need to go back to BMW? Just curious rather than anything else... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious rather than anything else... You will need to go to the dealer with last 7 numbers vin, i'm not aware of any decoders for options online Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 Apparently it is also on the back of the rear seat in some bimmers. I just realized option 870, 871, 872. WTF?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) the 540 i was looking at was a south african car .It had an option like that..cant locate the sheet right now so cant confirm the number depending on the year of the 540 that option list may not be quite right...

Smoke screen or ejector seat maybe? Edited July 21, 2008 by elmarco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 I think its a larger radiator, maybe a few other bits and pieces too. Don't quote me on that though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 I think its a larger radiator, maybe a few other bits and pieces too. Don't quote me on that though Yes, the E36s with the 'hot climate package' (or whatever they call it) have a larger radiator than those from colder countries e.g.: Germany. I'm guessing the thermostat is also different. My E36 from Japan had it, and I believe cars from South Africa do too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
