BMW 8er Series - VIN/Chassis Information

BMW has assigned specific chassis number ranges for each variant of the 8 Series. Most of these numbers were actually used in production, but some were not. In cases where a chassis number was not used, one or more of the following reasons apply:

Market conditions prevented the complete expansion of the allocated chassis number range.
Due to a manufacturing defect, the car was withdrawn from public sale.
The transition to the new model/calendar year required a reorganization of the production series, which meant that several chassis numbers could no longer be used.
The car was manufactured and used internally for assembly line training, prototype development, or other related activities.

10,000 8-series cars in the 8Coupe.com archives

Less than a year after passing the 9,000 cars and the 30% archived threshold we are proud to announce having reached another milestone. As of this month we are in the 5 digit range and now hold data for more than 10,000 8-series cars in the 8Coupe archives.
Only a few hundred cars need to be added to achieve yet another long term goal - 1/3 of the entire production. We hope to be able to surpass this number during Summer 2014.

This past year saw near linear increases based on last year´s…

8,888 8ers in the 8Coupe archive... and more!

A very busy year of the 8Coupe team has led to another milestone - more than 9,000 cars were in the archives at the end of May 2013 and en route in the same month we also passed the "magic" 8er number of 8,888 cars. During the past year and despite one of the major markets, Japan obviously running out of cars, the 8Coupe team managed to find and identify more than 1.000 E31´s previously unaccounted for.

With more than 9,000 cars in the archives we are only a few cars shy of 30% (9187 cars) of…
