Post by 4zwmb » Sun Nov 09, 2014 4:57 pm

Hi I have a bmw z4 sdrive 30i e89 (2011) in alpine white, I have looked under the hood like sherlock holmes would investigate a crime scene and yet I could not find the badge/sticker with the code number on! Who is going to solve this case for me??? :)

Just give a dealer parts dept a ring and have the VIN handy ... they will look it up.
Current : BMW M240i Convertible in black and a Smart Fortwo diesel in white :)
Previous : BMW 35iS in Mineral White and an Mercedes AMG A45 in black
