[QUOTE="sangkuriang, post: 237101, member: 4506"] Wah QD, u posted at 3am ka? hard at work advising ppl, it seemed... good deed shud be rewarded meh. Well Freedom, don't worry if ur/hubby's car is actually manufactured in 1999, look at the glass windows, if the glass is BMW Sicursv code 43R-000xxx, then the glass is manufactured in 2001 hence the car is driven out in 2001. At least the life started in 2001 though manufactured earlier (applicable to Jap spec, i think). I got this tip somewhere, i don't actually remember whether the 43R or the last 3 digits denotes the yr of installation (but strongly believe the code 43R), coz when checking the tip, mine was deemed started life in 2001, though actual manufacturing is Dec 1999. I guess the higher the number denotes later installation, right. Anyway, older cars could be rejuvenated with good service and wear and tear parts replacement, no? So far, after 2 yrs using it the car is great after spending 'bout 4k on services, normal parts and critical sensors. Hey Jazz, keep us posted on your hunt... [/QUOTE]
