I think BMW once faced a legal challenge for producing "M" cars in Spartanburg and giving them WBS__ VINs. They lost, as you can see from this discussion.

Yeah the first 3 characters of the VIN represent the world manufacturer identifier, so WBS is specific to German-built and can't be reused for US-built/SLP-built.
I would think it is fair to have multiple true-M VINs as they carry the same M DNA's(e.g. the reinforced chassis).
