I know my car was built on the 2 Dec 2003. Your dealer can give you similar info and a full spec sheet of your car as it originally left the factory.

My car originally left the factory with those horrid 'bling' chrome 19" M3 wheels. Thankfully the second owner sorted that out with CSL items.

You've been here too long yer old G-Dog

seen it all... heard it all

My SG CSL also had that wheel option from new... (792) * M Double Spoke 67M 8/9.5 JX19 ... thankfully rectified by subsequent owner

What are these option: 853 * Instrument Panel Letter ? and 818 * Battert Switch ?

Probably the 'M' logo on the instrument cluster & at a guess the lighter weight CSL 12V battery? Maybe...!

BMW were really scraping the bottom of the barrel to be listing these as options

It's like saying "Four black & round tyres" option and "Carbon Roof " option
