Wondered if anyone was in a position to find out the following.
1. From what Engine Number was the revised piston ring fitted.
2. From what Engine Number was the revised Vanos System fitted.
We all know that supposedly cars with a build date of 03/2000 definately have the later piston ring design, and cars with a build date of 02/2000 "May have the later piston ring design fitted".........But surely BMW Must know from what engine number the later design was fitted.
The same goes for the revised Vanos System.....It's acknowledged that the revised system was fitted in 09/2000.........but of course there's a grey area for anyone who's car shows a build date that coincides with these dates.
Anyone in a position to give a definitive answer on either or both of these.........The Engine Number is the key to provide an accurate answer.
Ie : All engines after Engine Number .......... were fitted with....etc.
Anyone in a position to provide/research the accurate answers...???
