Do you want to know what model engine or the number?

The engine type will be either M50B25 or M52B25 (with Vanos)...dependant on year

The engine number can be determined by the last 7 digits of the Vin number

ie: ET56746

All parts for your car can be purchased by that number

If you want the actual engine number ( for wot ever reason ) ring the dealer and quote that number

EASY

Cheers

I didn't think there was an M52B25 in 325s - I thought it was designated M50B52 TU or something along those lines and the M52 was only for 323 and 328?

His car would be M50B25 ( non Vanos ) or M50B25TU ( Vanos )

TU = Technical Upgrade

FA72649 identifies your car for options and spare parts. It is not your engine number.

Unless your car has been modified or had an engine swap it is not 2949cc

it will be 2494cc

Y do you need the specific engine number ??

Its on the block, on a machined surface just below the starter.

I'll try and get it for you of the vehicle data base.

PM me with your fax number and I'll send you all the BMW info on your car

No engine number recorded tho.....which sometimes happens ( a lazy krout )

You will have to raise the car and check the area I told you about before

Cheers
