How do I find the engine code of my car?

The engine code is stamped on the engine block. On most BMW engines it sits on the side of the block, near the base of the cylinder head or by the oil filter housing.

It is also on many registration papers, and a dealer or a parts shop can read it from your VIN.

The easiest way is to send us your VIN. We read the engine code for you and tell you which engine fits.

Never order by the badge on the boot alone. The same model name can hide two different engines.
