=> Anyone with a BMW MINI, please help

mick.fr

Mini owner, that would be great if you could let me know what is the 11th digit (a letter) of your VIN number. It will allow me to assign the offical plant code of the MINI factory in the UK.

I am maintaining a list of BMW factories and I am missing a few, such as MINI, Russian and Chinese plants...

The 11th digit of the VIN indicates the plant where your car has been built as shown below.

Many thanks in advance

B Dingolfing, Germany

G Munich, Germany
J Regensburg, Germany
K Munich, Germany

N Pretoria, South Africa
P Regensburg, Germany
V Leipzig/Hall, Germany

I also found this:

The VIN on a MINI constists of 17 characters and numbers, broken down as follows:
