You can find out the model of
BMW
that you have a few different ways. Here’s where to check.
  • On the back of your vehicle: The manufacturer’s name and vehicle model should be printed on the exterior of your car. Check near the trunk or rear panel.
  • Owner’s manual: Refer to your owner’s manual. Typically, you can find the make and model listed on the cover of the manual or within the first few pages.
  • Title or registration: Your car’s make and model is printed on these documents.
  • The VIN: This 17-digit code contains your BMW model series in digits four to eight.
To locate your VIN, check the inside frame or jamb of the driver’s door. Alternatively, you can find it on the driver’s side of the dashboard where it meets the windshield.
