Good luck!Hi John,įWIW, I tried sending my VIN to the address posted above and it got kicked back to me with the following message: Beginning with the BMW NA era, BMW actually know the retail dealer and sale date for their cars but, for whatever reason, does not release that information.

cars: cars were NOT physically shipped to New York and then to U.S. Hoffman Motors' legal domicile in New York is why New York is mentioned in every single BMW Archive email for U.S. dealer was, in effect, buying the cars through Hoffman and selling them to the U.S. and generally 7-10 weeks transpired between the manufacturing date and delivery to the U.S. Cars were transported by ship to the U.S. cars is the date on which legal title (profit and risk of loss) transferred from BMW to Hoffman Motors, a New York corporation, as sole U.S. Just to be clear, the "delivery" date provided by BMW Archives for U.S. Send the VIN to e-mail you receive back will tell you original color, build date & delivery date.
