Based on manufacturing in South Africa it seems unlikely, but BMW does manufacture in SA so there could be a surplus of used parts.

It would be interesting to hear from one of the current dealers. Paging Jay at Vintage.

All wearing componets are new... shocks, brakes, wheel bearings, axles, springs etc. Differentials are obviously reman.

Brakes? Maybe the pads...
After the pedal went to the floor, I replaced a failed front caliper piston(O ring) that upon examination it showed the caliper was pressure washed, but not completely. So much for new.

BTW, it doesn't matter if it was build number 001 or 1001.

It does matter, a roller today is $39,900.
