Where is the engine number of BMW X6 located?

BMW X6's engine number is located beneath the air filter. After removing the air filter and its housing, you can see the engine number. The engine number, also known as the engine model, is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or company practices, and the engine's attributes. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine. In BMW X6, the 'X' stands for BMW's high-end sports SUV series, and '6' indicates that it is an SUV model based on the 6 Series platform. Therefore, BMW X6 signifies a sports SUV built on the 6 Series platform, with higher numbers indicating a higher level in the series.
I just helped someone check the engine number of a BMW X6. It's usually located on the engine block itself, specifically under the hood near the front end, engraved on a metal cylinder. After opening the hood, you can see it right in front of you, but sometimes dust or oil stains may cover it—just wipe gently with a cloth. If you can't find it there, you can also check near the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate under the windshield, as engine information is sometimes included there too. The engine number is quite important; it's used for verification during vehicle registration at the DMV or for repairs. I recommend taking a photo of it as a backup on your phone, just in case it gets lost or becomes illegible due to wear, which could cause trouble later.
