M3/M4 North American Model Codes
Does anyone know what the M3/M4 North American model codes will be?
This would enable us to constantly refresh the forthcoming configurator to see when it pops up! I think there are also services that monitor this for you and send you an email when a website comes up, any suggestions there are also welcome. For example: http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte.../byohome.aspx?namodelcode=145g <- M5 http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte.../byohome.aspx?namodelcode=146k <- M6 Thanks and happy configuring (when the time comes)! |

According to the very first page of the Canadian order guide, they are 15M3 and 15M4 respectively. That is, if those are the model codes you are referring to.

Yeah, I don't know if they are the same for Canada and US, although it does say "NA Code", which could mean North American Code.
Also, I looked at the 2014 M5 US order guide, and FWIW, it shows the same 145G "NA Code" that you posted above (except the G is capital instead of lower case). Just write a little script to check every combination I guess. |

I just looked at the 2014 Canadian M5 Order Guide (which is combined with the 5 Series for some reason), and the model code there was 1458. So, it's a no go.
But maybe there's a system? If you check past year M5 order guides (or those for other models) maybe they just increment the codes for a given chassis each year. IOW, maybe, for example, the 5/M5 for Canada will start with 1559 for the 528i since they ended with 1458 last time (see the order guide for the full list). It's just a guess, maybe it's not that easy, but they are probably not just randomly selected. |
