nzodea 25 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 HI all: new member: I am looking to import a z3 m coupe from japan during this year. Specifically I am after a 2001 - 2002 s54 engined model. I am haing problems finding the right vehicle code at the japanese auction houses. CM32 - is the M coupe to 2001 (earlier S50 engine) CN sereis are the z3 roadster after 2001 I can't find the Coupe!! I think it may be CL, but can not verify it. Anyone able to help out. thanks Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So possibly applies to S52 and S54. Get them to give you the VIN numbers then you can look up each car yourself and confirm what it is. Jochen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzodea 25 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks for your help guys Issue for me is the car auctions in Japan use a shrtened number. It appears to be the model type (i.e. CN) followed by the CC rating (i.e. 22) this is a Z3 roodster 2.2L I did find this of use as well as the site bmw vin code decoder Still trying to find if there is a method to the japanese auction sites! seems it could be CN, CM or CL 3.2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phil Ken Sebben Report post Posted June 9, 2007 Top man, If you find a wrecked CN, let me know, as I'm pretty sure its the easiest way to S54 an E30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
