Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and need to know what would be the best place on here to get help decoding my fender tag. I can make out most of the letters and numbers just don't know what they mean. Help:prayer:

OK, there are a couple discrepencies in your post, as you have already discerned!! First, I think the "C" in your VIN line may be a "G", as the E44 is coded as a 318 2 bbl. Next, the body color I believe is notT83, but TB3, making it Basin Street Blue, the color it is wearing in the pic!!

Next would be the interior trim color, F385 as posted. I believe that this should be F3B5, which would be a B5 blue interior, which I'd bet it has!!

The "U" code in the book is tires, but there is no U22, so I'm no help there!! I think Furious has the rest covered for you. Hope this helps, Geof

Love you guys. You are all so cool. It's hard to read a rusty old fender tag. Sure some of you all have been there a time or two.:cheers::newb:
