Help putting together Aussie VIN

Today I got the last seven digits of my VIN

Also told the BMW system lists it as "In Production", and that I'm pretty good for a Sept delivery.

Trouble is I'm having real problems working out what the rest of the digits should be. I've looked all over this site and on the web in general and I'm not a 100% sure of what it should be.

I think cause I've got Auto a lot of the examples don't apply???

I'm thinking it could be:
WBA UC82 4 ? 8 V______

It is the bits in bold I'm not certain of. I've seen some 135i VINs with 5 as the safety equipment code, but most places seem to show 4. Obviously ? is the check digit.

Any idea of what a 135i Auto VIN could be?

Being a 135i your VIN should be WBAUC72???V_____

The UC72 part means 135i (not sure if auto has another number)

Mine's just 80 odd higher, which is surprising how few RHD 135i's they must be building in a month.

Nice one Bob. Do you mean 10th September? That's a damned shame. I work right next to the harbour, at CRM Works and could normally get you a photo of the ship coming in. But on 10th September, I'll be holidaying in Vietnam.

BTW, it's not possible to access the Port Kembla RoRo dock and they're in the process of installing a full blown security gate way back near the main road ... so it's not possible to get a close look at cars coming off. The best would be to catch it leaving the port on the back of a truck.
