Jake - Glad to hear they're
Glad to hear they're still responsive to the request. Whenever I get that sort of information, especially the build/delivery date, I enter that into a spreadsheet and eventually put a copy up on the forum. If you search for your BMW model using the boxes on the left side of the screen, you'll find a PDF file at the bottom of that page. With this information, people can look at the growing list and get a sense of where their bike fits. Of course, it's the best to have it from BMW, but the list gives a reasonable perspective about the model year and build date for each bike. The list is anonymous. If you would like to private message me your info, I'd be glad to include it on the list for a future update.

Build dates
Here is info on my 3 bikes
Dear Mr Byrnes,
Thank you for your email.
The BMW R 27 VIN 382468 was manufactured on March 10th, 1964 and delivered on December 18th, 1964 to the BMW importer Butler & Smith in New York City. The bike was equipped with a bench seat.
The BMW R 50 VIN 552459 was manufactured on August 11th, 1955 and delivered on the same day to the BMW dealer Bischof in Cologne.
Unfortunately not all of the delivery books do still exist, or sometimes they are incomplete. This applies to the delivery book of the BMW R 69 (R69US)
S. Therefore, we sadly do not have any data about that vehicle. On the base of the surrounding numbers we can only estimate that the BMW R 69 S (R69US) VIN 664070 was probably manufactured in 1967.
We hope this information is helpful for you.
Yours sincerely,
Julia Oberndörfer
Thanks
Tommy

R69US built late 1967 before BMW cut off the side car attachments registered as 1968
