Where was your car born?

[Hellas]

The 11th digit of the VIN indicates the plant where your car has been built
For instance, I have the following information so far, which is pretty outdated since there is a few more factories today.

A Munich, Germany
B Dingolfing, Germany
C Dingolfing, Germany
D Dingolfing, Germany
E Regensburg, Germany
F Munich, Germany
G Munich, Germany
J Regensburg, Germany
K Munich, Germany
L Spartanburg, South Carolina
N Pretoria, South Africa
P Regensburg, Germany
V Leipzig/Hall

Mr Sparky.... as soon as i have enough cash to do some stuff

Buying parts for the 6er is expensive. About 6 items (incredibly small stuff for the door cards and seats) is costing me just under a grand. I don't want to know what the bigger stuff is going to be.

I would love to supercharge the 5er. More realistically, i reckon cams and some head work would be in order for now. Eventually i would like to convert it to a manual. Be a hell of a lot more fun to drive.

mmmm some head work.....oh sorry....yes when it comes to tinkering with ye old bmw it starts getting rather expensive
