Tax exempt??

Can anyone accurately date a cars birth? I phoned the dealer but they told me my 2002 touring was a 1988 325i? DVLA will except written conformation from a dealer (unlikely to happen) or a club. Where do I start? Any links/info will be handy, thanks, Kev.

If You take your log book to your local Dealer they are supposed to give you a Certificate (£cost of course) with the actual date it was made on. You might need this to prove it's DOB.

Thanks for everyone's help. I have found out my car is number 1492 out of 1537, so only 45 away from being the last RHD 2.0 touring. As the last was produced in sept 73, it is unlikely mine is tax exempt. Mine is actually registered Aug 1 1974 on an " N " reg, so could be the last one sold in UK ?? Interesting finding out though, even if it does mean I have to throw £200 a year at our government so they can continue to keep our roads in a dreadfull state!!



Hi Tim
 
I have no records of this one.

Fay, can you give any clues on chassis no 1659656?  That’s what my 2002 calls itself, but that number doesn’t appear in Mike’s list as far as I could see.
Thanks
Tim

Dear Kev

 

You chassis number falls being built somewhere between January 1973 and August 1973 in a batch from chassis number 3441114 to 3441537. This information is taken from Mike Macartney's "The BMW 02 Restoration Guide."

 

If you need proof of a date of building you can email BMW here: ....

 

BMW have wiped over many of the original numbers with later models on their general database (helpful huh?) but their archie department can usually help. One of our customers got through to the dvla OK with a printed out email from BMW.

 

I hope this is of help.

 

Regards

Fay

As I've said, I've tried a dealer & they say it's an 88 325i.
