Decoder reference
What this decoder page is designed to answer.
How the 1502 chassis number is decoded
PetrolJunky identifies the BMW 1502 by reviewed chassis blocks rather than by reading a modern VIN pattern. The database includes the documented RHD block beginning 3810001 and LHD ranges beginning 4150001 and 5300001. BMW Group Classic places overall 1502 production from December 1974 through July 1977, which is why the decoder treats the chassis range and production-period reference as separate evidence.
What the number does not prove
The serial position can identify the 1502 production block and steering-market family, but it is not enough to claim the exact factory completion date or original equipment. Those details remain archive-level facts.
Why register the individual car
The 1502 closed the 02 Series and is often overlooked beside the 2002. A registry page gives surviving cars a durable identity and makes it easier to preserve ownership periods, restoration photographs and the history of examples that have moved between countries.

Common questions
1502 VIN decoder questions
What chassis ranges identify a BMW 1502?
PetrolJunky includes reviewed 1502 blocks beginning 3810001 for RHD production and 4150001 or 5300001 for LHD production.
Can the BMW 1502 chassis number give an exact build date?
Not from the range alone. The decoder can identify the documented block and production span; an exact completion date requires stronger archive documentation.
