What number GTS out of 700?

Does anyone know if there is an actual numbering system that BMW uses to identify the 700 being made? There may be a way to figure out the 300 being made in North America using a VIN but that may be still difficult to do. For current GTS owners is there something on the vehicle that identifies this? I personally would like to know.

I guess we need to know the VIN for very first production GTS and then count from there I assume. Wonder if that info is accessible?

Problem is there are differing VIN ranges depending on Country or Area

For North American VIN's:
A Very early USA model was K578700, produced in March 2015. But I believe its a pre-production model

One VIN Number late K578701 was a Canadian model and only built in late July 2015. Also a pre production with Camouflage I believe

The First North American customer car may have been K578710, produced in May 2016. VIN ...709 was built in November and probably a pre-production model.


Dont have a Euro GTS VIN by me right now to check Euro numbers.

Ok, Euro Right hand Drive GTS started at VIN K577700 made in May 2015 as a Pre production model

K577701 was built in July 2015 and is pre-production
K577702 was built in March 2016 as a production UK version

Looking for a left hand drive VIN now

North American Cars
K578700 till K578709 Pre production cars from May 2015 ( 10 cars)
K578710 .......... Customer cars from March 2016

So in making fair assumption. 350 North American GTS cars (US and Canada) VINs should run

K578710-K57960?

With my luck I'm getting 57960 since mine hasn't even started production.
