Father and Son's Used BMW M3 Purchase Turns Out to be One VIN Digit Off

A father and son in the US discovered that their used BMW M3s, purchased three years apart, have consecutive Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs). The son, Matthew, had always dreamed of owning an E92 M3 and bought one last year, only to realize later that his father's M3, purchased in 2020, had a VIN that was one digit higher. While it is unclear if the cars were produced one after another on the assembly line, the coincidence of two consecutive VINs ending up in the same family is remarkable.
