Production plant

Is there a way to tell if an F20 is built in Leipzig or Regensburg?

I found some info by googling. Seems like digit 11 in the VIN indicates the production plant. "V" means Leipzig, while Regensburg can be "E", "J" or "P".

Mine has an "E", so it is made in Regensburg.

Regensburg is the primary factory for the F20. If i recall correctly only the f21 might be produced in Leipzig. My F21 still comes from Regensburg though...

But my 2016 F20 was made in Leipzig.

Of course we know where our cars have been made. I guess ovekvam dug the thread from the grave to encourage RHD M140i owners to answer here: Questions regarding m140i....

Smile Production plant

Just incidentally: "Is there a way to tell if an F20 is built in Leipzig or Regensburg?".



At 9:57 Estoril Blue can be spotted next (but one) to Lone Bitch Blue if anyone cares.

They are using the wrong (as in not our) robots at 4:30. They have the good kind (as in ours) elsewhere in the factory, painting the i3. :-)
