Sorry for such a Newbie question folks, but I'm a Newbie to BMW ownership (1 year only - 1986 320i 2dr and now a 5) and also new to this forum. I am told it is easy to find out the OE factory fit for my BMW, from the Chassis number. As I have a few loose end wires, and various other "Oddities", I would like to know what the car had on when new. I am the 5th Owner, prev. owners have removed stuff. Whilst I'm not a restoration to showroom condition type of person, I would like to put all the original gear back...so long as it is easily accessible from scrapyards etc. Any of you folks help me, if I give you my Chassis number? regards. ------------- Paul DH 1994 E38 "Proud owner of a "3/4 engined E37.9 that's almost a real car with real paint...WITH 6 WASHER JETS!" 1989 520i (E34) Gone 1988 320i Coupe (E30) Gone 1995 520 Estate (E34) (Wife) 1992 320i SE OBC (E36) (Wife) Gone 1988 320i Saloon (E30) (Wife) Gone |

You will need to give your chassis # to the dealer, they might do it over the phone, or you may have to pop in and ask some nice person on the service/parts desk for the information.

Thanks for that. I thought one of you guys would be able to "Bypass" the Dealers, they probably charge for such a service. And yes, I realise as a 5 owner, I should have posted it to 5 series tech. forum.

This is one thing BMW doesn't charge for!
Also as a 3 series owner i probably shouldn't be here either ! ------------- Mark Roberts

Hi Paul, Look on search for clubmember BOYBIMMERM3, send him a E-mail with your questions, he was very helpful with me regarding a sat/nav problem. Not too sure how he does it but he had a list of OE equipment fitted to my car off the chassis number Good Luck -------------   "All Men Die, Some Never Live"

hi mate I have got a cd rom, with all the part numbers for BMW cars from 1983 onwards & all the service & technical manuals for the 3,5,7,8 & M series & the BMW Mini. They are all on cd rom, can send you a copy if you like, it will save a fortune on garage fees. Type in your chassis number, & this programme will sort you out. Dan |
