VIN Decoder That Finds 7ME (M Driver's Package) Option Code??
Hello All,
I'm shopping for a used M2 Comp and want it to have the M Driver's Package option (code 7ME). Through Google searching I found https://www.mdecoder.com/ as a site to try and decode the VIN and find the options on any car I'm looking at. However, I must have put 20 different VINs in and haven't had a single car come back showing the 7ME option on it. I know there is some controversy and strong feelings on both sides about the value (or lack of value) of this option, but with this being a performance car that is not exactly cheap (relative), I would have expected to see 25-50% uptake on this option. Does anyone know if that VIN Decoder site is not accurate? Can anyone with a 7ME car run their own VIN through there and see it shows the option? Any recommendations as to which VIN Decoder I should use? Is there nothing free that is accurate enough and I need to use a paid option like vinanalytics.com maybe? Thank You |

RideM thanks for your reply. I really don't know what is going on. I'm really only interested in 1 or 2 colors, but after your response I went through every single M2 Comp on CarGurus and after inputting 41 different VINs not a single one came up with the 7ME M Driver's Package. Are they really that rare?? I just have a really hard time believing the uptake on that option would be that rare, but I guess maybe so.....

Thanks for the info and response. I'm very big on having an unmodified, factory original car. I have tracked my former cars and intend on tracking whatever I get next. Though it will be rare to find a track where you can exceed 150, I'd like to have the ability if that was available, and I don't want to have to modify anything with a tune. Just my preference.

I ordered the M drivers package as an option on my BSM 21. It's rare. Seems like everyone with a opinion trashed the option. Well, the credit towards school, gave me an amazing 2 day school experience which was worth every last nickel. I did not order the executive package, but got the rear camera and adaptive LEDs anyway gratis.
I had a 20 DCT all stock without M Driver's previously. My 21 6mt with the MDrivers and stock exhaust seems to burble more, pop a little more. I can't say it's because of the MD pkg, but I notice this baby is just a bit more aggressive sounding stock as well. 🤔 Coincidencal?

Does anyone know if this is transferable and redeemable even currently?
If so who do I contact at BMW or CCA about this. I have a single owner low miles 2017 that I recently acquired. I know for sure the PO wasn’t the type to have used this so I was hoping to give it a try. |

It's true that many opinions online can be negative, but it's fantastic that you had a positive experience with the package. The credit towards the driving school sounds like a valuable benefit, and it's great that you enjoyed it.
