    Meaning of Build Codes?

    While researching some stuff earlier I came across some odd build codes that seem to be shared with all BMW's. Build codes are, for the most part, universal - so I'm wondering if these just may be a placeholder of sorts? Either way...

    ...860 Turn Signal Lights, Front, Side
    861 Change Coding Set
    862 Cloth Seats Front for Taxi Package
    863 European Dealer Directory
    864 Overseas Dealer Directory
    865 Oddsments Table/Footrests, Rear
    866 Service Card Germany
    867 Language Version Korean
    868 Radio Preparations for ZF/ZI
    869 Radio Preparations for ZG/ZZ
    870 Salt
    871 Pepper
    872 Chili

    875 Infrared Remote Control
    875 Infrared Compact System (E38)
    876 Radio Frequency 315Mhz
    877 Without Functioning Upper Cross Bar
    877 Without Cross-over Control
    879 German Language Owner's Manual
    880 Cold Weather Package (E38)...
    What's up with that? I don't think you can find a car equipped with any of those, which is what made me think they are placeholders. But its certainly odd?

    Seems like some BMW factory lunch hall numbers got mixed up in your car

    They are universal build codes. I dont think any car comes equipped with 870/871/872. They must just be placeholders for future options or build packages

    Pretty sure my E30 came with all three of those ingredients hidden somewhere.
