How do I know it's a 2011.5 or 2011.75 e92 model

Hi Guys,

I'm in the process in purchasing a M3, but either I or the seller knows what model built it is.

Is there a way to check by the VIN #?

You can tell thru minor details, Production Date, and/or VIN#
I find myself reposting this pretty often.
I literally just (re)posted this a few threads below but here's a rundown on the different 2011 models:

The MY2011 ran from March 2010~September 2011
Various changes throughout, although very miscellaneous to most.
But as a prospective buyer, you should know the differences.

03/2010~08/2010: 2011
-E92/93 gets LCI tail lamps (E90 already got LCI lights as of MY2009 09/08 build)
-Competition package (ZCP) added as an option for E90/92
-Mineral white added as a color option for post 06/2010 builds.

09/2010~02/2011: 2011.5
Many threads reference the 2011.5 as the "September Changes".
For the M3, this includes:
-Automatic start/stop function added
-Additional bluetooth & smartphone connectivity, including bluetooth audio streaming (Combox / 6VC)
-The aforementioned mineral white paint option
-18-inch Style 219M/260M alloy wheels receive bright silver finish in place of Ferric Grey finish
-Manually-adjsutable front seats introduced on E90/92 (USA only)
-Bi-color Novillo leather upholstery in two different combinations (Palladium Silver + Black or Fox Red + Black) offered for E90/92 (USA only)

03/2011~09/2011: 2011.75
-BMWApps/BMW Connected Drive added to the iDrive (6NR)

The 2011.75 is essentially a 2012 in all but name. The 2012 has the same specs as the 2011.75
