You can't make general assumptions like "my VIN is 01234, so my car is the 1,234th car off the line." BMW's VINs aren't that obvious. Also, for one model, they might have 3 or 4 different VIN designations. For example, a 325i for the US market can be PS, KX, KR, etc. Also, they don't always start at 00000 because they recycle unused codes. So, they might start at 20000 and that doesn't mean that your car was the 20,000th off the line.
