Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Can someone teach me how to get the VIN number for the F10 and F20? Trying to update the bluetooth and connected drive software, and the website needs the VIN number.

If I m not wrong, BMW's VIN = Last 7 digits of your Chasis Number (your ride's chasis number is also indicated in the COE).

I just tried that... doesn't seem to be correct. The BMw website didn't recognize those last 7 digits.

Any other ideas?
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Which BMW website? PML?

May I ask if your ride is from PML or PI?
- If from PML, the above links should give you details of your ride. If it does provide info (valid VIN), then I suppose e best option is to contact PML.
- If is from PI, then there maybe a slight unforseen issue e.g. VIN decode was not purchased by e PI.

How about you try validate/check your VIN on e sites below before you try again.
1) Vehicle Identification Number: BMW
2) BMW VIN Decoder - By Mitsuhiko Kanekatsu

That is all I know and doubt I can provide further assistance.

My car is from PML and the website I'm trying to access is www.bmw.com/update.

I tried one of the links you provided and it didn't work as well. Hmmm
It is weird. I tried entering my VIN at the link you provided and mine is valid.

Is there any alpha numeric 'identity issue'? As we know that O can be mistaken for 0 and vice versa. Your last 7 digits should be 2 alphabet followed by 5 numeric.

Worst case is approach PML.

Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Hi guys

Is this software update different from the one we got updated in MA?
How do I check whether the version is already the latest one?
Thanks!

Last 7 digits of my chassis number is an Alpha followed by 6 digits, none of which are zeros or easily mistaken for something else.

Maybe the car is new and not yet updated in the website **i hope**
 
Re: Calling all 1 series owners...

Hi all,

Wondering whether your drive jerks especially when in a jam. It feels like the car does not know to shift up or down and it is dam irritating....

Don't have such problem with all my previous cars.....

Anyway I am sending in to PML Bukit Timah on Wednesday for a check on this and the knocking sounds on the doors when driving....
