Manufacturer date?

Can anyone tell me where I can find the actual manufacturer date for my 2014 328i XDrive? I looked inside the drivers side door jam and can't seem to find anything. Maybe I'm missing it? Thanks

I find it odd if it's not inside the driver's door. At least in the US. The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require the sticker or placard to be placed in the inside of the drivers door listing the manufacture date and confirming the vehicle was manufactured to U.S. standards at that date.

I mean.. clearly it doesn't if it's not there. Is it on your car?

It's almost certainly there; upper left corner. You can also check at www.bimmer.work , which will also give you all of your car's equipment.

That's the German DIN versus SAE
"DIN horsepower ratings are calculated with the engine in “as-installed” condition, they are always lower than gross ratings. (The peak engine speeds for DIN power and torque ratings are often lower, as well, reflecting the effects that mufflers, air cleaners, and accessories have on the engine’s power curve.)"
My 430 shows 185.
