    Working VIN decoder?

    Sifted through the forums and I can't find any links in old posts for VIN decoders that still work. VIN is either 7350400 or 735O400...title says zero 400, dash tag looks more like OH 400.

    7350400 is a US, March 1980 733i, manual tranny and most VIN decoders that would spit out a build sheet did not go back that far. Never seen one with info on cars before 83 and now most decoders are dead.

    Well look at the bright side. The US cars came fully loaded to US specifications with very few options. Looking at a US 1980 733i brochure would list those options and you could determine if that car had those options. The difficulty there is the brochure. The car-cm-jp only has the UK and Japanese brochures for the 7 for 1980.

    Never could attain for my 12/82 Ljet. I am guessing ASAP sheets became 'a thing' in 01/83.

    Just like Keith, about all I ever have seen for US car options were paint choices, interior choices, transmission option, and open diff or LSD.
