Where is the engine number of the BMW 730 located?
2 Answers
The engine number of the BMW 730 is located on the engine block. It usually consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found in the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number that cannot be duplicated.
Every time I work on my car, I have to be extra careful when looking for the engine number, especially on luxury models like the BMW 730. The engine number is usually stamped on the engine block, so you'll need to open the hood and search for small engravings or stickers. Specifically, for the 730 series, the number is mostly stamped on the front or side of the engine, and you might need to remove some plastic covers to see it clearly. I recommend doing this with the engine off, using a phone flashlight for better visibility to avoid glare in strong light. If it's covered in grease, spraying some cleaner and wiping it off will make it easier to identify. Why do you need this? For example, when buying insurance or transferring ownership, you'll need it to match records, otherwise the paperwork can be troublesome. A tip from experience: check the appendix of the owner's manual—it usually has a diagram of the location. If you can't find it, take a photo of the VIN code and look it up online, but don't force open any parts to avoid injuring your hands.
