the_don46 4 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Good day everyone. My name is Donovan. I just joined your community after purchasing myself a 2003 z4 2.5. Quite excited to be a part of the community and to learn so I can enjoy getting to grips with my new weekender. Pictured here is my son straight of the test drive when I decided to buy it. Curious, is there a way to tell if my car was originally a 3.0 and had an engine swap or if the car always was a 2.5 with 3.0 badges added? I’ve Googled and checked the stamp on the engine and it’s definitely a 2.5. Thank you for reading! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Definitely a 2.5 that someone has added the badges to. Get the VIN from the plate on Carjam then punch it into an online Vin decoder: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/wbabt32020ls21514 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_don46 4 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 Wow thanks for that. How did you manage to do that? I double checked with the VIN and got same results. Only question is why it shows it as a left hand drive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A great forum in the UK called Z4-forum.com has heaps of helpful diy links and info, worth a look. Also in Wellington so may see you at one of the meets. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very often incorrect. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
