Yes, it is a CS VIN #, or at least the VIN is between other CS.
I've heard of demand for the CS parts, maybe someone sold or traded them?
FunElan...do you also own a 2002? Just wondered....

Thanks for the clarification!! So it was made alongside the ClubSports? Wishing it was one of them? Because the VIN looks like it falls in the line of CS VINs. __________________

yep, the build series number might have been different, but the vin may have been listed with the csīs. __________________

Thanks nothing out of the ordinary but good to know exact specs. | | | | | 08-02-2012, 03:12 AM | #1777 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2012 Location: Dodging potholes in SoCal Posts: 454 |
This may be a long shot, but can you look up pre-1981 VINs? My 1600 vin is 1563167. __________________

Supposedly there were 300-400 CS built, maybe 5 without sunroofs. In my informal records mostly from watching this board, the lowest CS VIN is 53460, and the highest is 53731, so 271 CS are supposedly known to exist. If I'm wrong, correct me. And this is what's now funny, this car is a non-CS but within the regular CS VIN group. So how many other non-CS are in what is thought to be the VIN range of CS's? And, how many CS were really built? More info and discussion is certainly welcome! vince | | | | | 08-02-2012, 12:40 PM | #1779 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2012 Location: philadelphia Posts: 217 |  vin for me, thanks in advance

After reading some of these posts it seems like I may have a '95 club sport. It has the red leather/cloth seats and M-Tech trim and mirrors. But I also have a sun roof. I can't imagine that I have one of 3!? Unfortunately the guy before me didn't take very good care of it | | | | | 08-24-2012, 03:18 AM | #1784 | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Plainfield Posts: 29 |
The VIN is within the range of other CS, so it should be a CS and it sounds like one.
Having a sunroof is not the rare issue. Supposedly BMW decided early in the production run to make all the cars with sunroofs. So the ones with no sunroof are the rare ones, but how many were made without a sunroof is unknown. People talk of single digits, but I've never seen any confirmation.
Sorry it wasn't taken care of that well, neither was the one I have.

I don't know how I read about the sunroofs in two different places and misread it both times. :/ | | | | | |
