VIN stickers
US and Canadian BMWs come equipped with VIN stickers on all of the major body panels and doors along with the engine and transmission. These tamper-proof labels are intended to thwart distribution of stolen vehicle parts.

Do European spec cars have these stickers?

Thanks!

No ! as far as im aware European (well U.K spec) 5 series don't have chassis numbers on major panels...

Also it was a little later in the day (1991 i think) we received the VIN number on the top of the dash.

Are you considering stealing Euro cars ????

Just kiddin..sure hope not !!


Regards,

Alan Archer
