Where is the BMW VIN located?
2 Answers
BMW VIN is generally located at the lower left corner of the front windshield, or on the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or door edge. It can also be found in the engine compartment, with the exact position varying by model. Below are specific details about BMW: 1. The BMW 3 Series is a premium sports sedan. Through innovatively designed selected control elements and the novel yet harmonious combination of colors and materials, the BMW 325i is more refined than ever. Drivers can express their individuality in various ways through high-quality materials and expressive colors. 2. The BMW 325i is equipped with the latest generation BMW iDrive operating system, perfectly matched with professional navigation functions, featuring the largest high-precision display in its class. The iDrive central controller and operating interface have been ergonomically optimized, allowing function selection and control through actions such as rotation, pressing, and tilting.
When I first bought my car, I also searched all over for the VIN. It's mainly located in the triangular area at the lower left corner of the windshield near the dashboard—just look outside and you'll see a long string of letters and numbers. If it's hard to see there on older models, lift the hood and check near the right shock absorber tower for an engraved metal plate. If it's unclear on rainy days, using your phone's flashlight to take a photo works especially well. When taking the car to the DMV for title transfer, the staff will ask to see the stamped VIN in the engine bay, so remember to clean any oil stains in that area beforehand.
