Decoder reference
What this decoder page is designed to answer.
How the Neue Klasse chassis number is decoded
The Neue Klasse expansion reaches earlier than the 02 Series and includes both six- and seven-digit numeric chassis blocks. PetrolJunky covers the 1500, four-door 1600 and 1800 families, performance variants such as the 1800 ti and TiSA, the 2000 sedan line and selected 2000 C, CA and CS coupé ranges.
What the number does not prove
Short six-digit identifiers can overlap the numerical space used by other classic manufacturers. The universal decoder therefore checks for conflicting candidates instead of assuming every matching six-digit number must be a BMW. Model identity is strongest when the number sits in a uniquely supported BMW block.
Why register the individual car
Neue Klasse cars established much of the sporting-sedan identity that later defined BMW. Their registry pages deserve the same treatment as 02 Series cars: sourced chassis identity first, then owner history, photographs and restoration context layered on top.

Common questions
Neue Klasse VIN decoder questions
Can PetrolJunky decode a BMW 1800 TiSA chassis number?
Yes. The reviewed Neue Klasse data includes the compact 1800 TiSA chassis block beginning at 995001.
Why can a six-digit Neue Klasse number be ambiguous?
Different classic manufacturers sometimes used overlapping short serial sequences. PetrolJunky checks other classic decoders before committing the universal lookup to one make.
