. In any event they began doing this with the 1980 model year, which was "A" up to 1999 which was "X". Betwene '80 to 2000 these characters were alphabetic, post 2000 the number in this position indicates the model year, for example

i have a grey mkt bmw and this was the only problem i experienced and it was w/ my insurance company. their computer kept kicking out the vin b/c the year did not match what the
VIN stated. it was all worked out, and i never had a problem with mvd (in new mexico)
