I just ran the VIN on my new M240 and saw this on the build sheet. Really odd. Can't find anything on google. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

Looks to me like you've inadvertently got an undercover cops setup!

My guess is some sort of BMW system glitch.

My guess is, the flashing light under the rearview mirror inside flashes blue instead of amber/red when the car is locked.

Ran the VIN where?

I had some mismatched codes when I used some of the VIN lookup websites but on the bmw tracker everything was correct.

Yes, on the BMW e site everything is correct but there are some VIN decoder sights that give you way more info. This was off of https://bimmer.work

Ok yeah, I had similar random parts on my build when I used the decoder sites.
