    BMW VIN Decoder

    Check this out......Leave it to the Russians BMW enthusiast to get this for everybody instead of going to your dealer.

    Sort of gave my ZHP to my wife, which enabled me to buy an e39 M5. I won, twice.

    Damn, doesn't work on 7 digit VIN's (the 2002). I'll have to check vs the list of options I have on the E46 from the dealer to see if anything is missing but it looks good! Thanks Lawrence

    the dealership has one more vin decoder that is not availble to the customer. They use it in parts for every option on the car. But this is a good alternative for those who dont want to go to a dealer to get that information!

    The main difference is that the package names (ZPP, ZCW, ZHP, etc..) are unique to the US. The Russian website will simply list the individual option codes for each feature, and that list will correspond to the "Vehicle Order" stored in all of our cars.
