2 Answers
The engine number of BMW X3 is located at the lower left side of the engine, and it can also be found on the vehicle's nameplate. The nameplate is situated near the front passenger door opening. Taking the 2021 BMW X3 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4717mm, width 1891mm, height 1689mm, wheelbase of 2864mm, and a curb weight of 1860kg. The 2021 BMW X3 features a double-joint spring strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 184PS, maximum torque of 290Nm, and maximum power of 135kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I often drive a BMW X3, and the engine number is usually located on the engine block itself. You can see it by opening the hood, typically on the front or side of the engine where the nameplate is. For example, last time I helped a friend check, I found it near the cylinder block. I also noticed that if there's oil or dust on the surface, you might need to clean it off. This number is quite important because it's used to identify vehicle details and is essential for maintenance or ownership transfer. If you can't find it right away, don't worry—you can first refer to the owner's manual, which has detailed diagrams. Additionally, the VIN code on the bottom of the windshield or door pillar can also be linked to the engine number for related information. A safety reminder: always open the hood when the engine is cold to avoid burns, and wearing gloves is even safer. In short, patience is key.
