Hello, Another New Member from South Carolina


Just purchased yesterday. R56 with 16k on the clock. Every piece of paper says 2013, but the big ol' dinner plate speedo looks like the one shown in the 2012 owner's manual.

It already has a name, Lady Bug, because of the coloring for one, but after the deal was done and we went to drive it off the lot there was a lady bug sitting on the driver's rearview mirror.

Welcome to NAM! http://bimmer.work/ plug in your vin there, it will tell you specs and the date of your vehicle. Those are some low miles, good find. I am here if you ever need anything.

The bimmer.work didn't work for me. I found another site that does the same thing - date of manufacture was 10-2-2012.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. The car will stay as stock as possible for now. If I can hold out, but plenty of Miata experience leads me to believe it won't be long though.
