I got the vin from both my CA and the 800#.

Series: E28
Market: Europa
Model description: 525e
Engine: M20
Chassis: Limousine
Production date: 07/1987
LOL, I had the exact same experience. My VIN # only began to work and identified my X5 properly beginning at the time the car was in "Assembly" as part of the ending of the "production" process.
