You might want to edit your post to show just the items you want clarifying, otherwise this thread will rapidly decline into comedy and misinformation as people try to translate conundrums like "Doors Count - 4" into English.

You can do a very good a very good decode of your vin here:

http://www.bmwe34m5.com/node/174

The famous and excellent www.bmwe34m5.com website! Yay!!

Here are the ones that are not to obvious and that I actually know or could give a reasonable guess to!

Type code HC91 - Internal Model code.

Type M5 (ECE) - As above, european car

Body type LIM - Limosine as opposed to Touring

Steering LL - LHD? Unsure

Door count 4 - No idea. Something to do with Jahre?

Power 255 - Power (347Bhp is 258kw, near enough)

661 BMW BAV. CASS. III - The radio model

676 HIFI LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM - Upgraded speaker system (or standard?)

781 LM Rad 9Jx17 auf Hinterachse - Staggered rear wheels

782 NUERBURGRING-FAHRWERKSPAKET - EDC-II selector switch and all the goodies

I can tell you straight away what "Granitsilber" means.....a very sexy car.

Satin Chrome, i think is Shadowline.

i think those were pretty much it, i was guessing on those, so thanks for confirming it.

Jahngeer - i agree, at first i thought it was rather dull, but after a nice cut and polish (and if i keep the snow off it) the colour is great.
