Engine Serial Number

[Dick Steinkamp]

I've wondered if my engine number is the same as the chassis number.

BMW certainly put the engine number in a spot that is hard to get to.

No way could I see it. I finally tried to take a picture with my iPhone. After about 10 tries, I got one that sort of worked...

My car SN is 3100645. In the picture I can just make out the 100645.

Success!

The number on engine is stamped in the flat spot on the block right by the starter.

And yes they would match if original motor

It appears that it is.
