BMW engine serial numbers don't match the vehicle serial numbers so it's hard to trace which car they came from. The S38 engine number should be stamped into the block at the back almost directly below #6 intake runner. you'll have to reach down with a big screw-driver and push a coolant hose out of the way to see it.

Thanks bro i would see now this link you post me, i know where the number is on M50, but on this full hud of engine i can't see , VIN number is perfect on chasis (24.03.1990 VIN decoder say like in licence of the car), car was register but no one look the number true this 20 years, and before i buy it i want to see the number, because in Serbia if engine don't have number you can only give engine to police and can't register the car.And it's shame because car have only 127 xxxx km on gauge

Leave the thread now as it is, the sooner you will reach 10 posts and then there is no need anymore, that a moderator has to approve you post manually (forum spam-o-matic).

See page 28 for details where the serial number is on the S38 http://www.ge39.com/files/zeigeinfo.pdf

same place like the M30 https://engineserialnumber.blogspot....locations.html
