How to know if car is OEM M sport and not just a M kit added to a 535

rome7890 · 09-23-2015, 08:02 PM

Hi,

I recently bought a 535xi "m sport" but I can't see anywhere indicating that it's is on original M sport package and not just a kit added to a 535i. I enter my VIN and it in the info it doesn't show there. Is there anyway to tell that it is an original M sport and not just a kit?

Thanks.

This is what I got when I did a VIN decode:

Type code FU7C
Type 535IX (USA)
Dev. series F10 ()
Line 5
Body type LIM
Steering LL
Door count 4
Engine N55
Cubical capacity 3.00
Power 225
Transmision ALLR
Gearbox AUT
Colour SPACEGRAU METALLIC (A52)
Upholstery LEDER DAKOTA/SCHWARZ (LCSW)
Prod. date 2010-10-18

Nevermind I did the VIN decoder and it showed all the options when the vehicle was bought. It shows the options: 337 M Sport package; 710 M Leather steering wheel; 715 M Aerodynamics package; M rear spoiler
