How do you find the VIN number on a BMW?

Is there a good way to find the VIN number on a BMW? I'm filling out a bunch of car-related paperwork, and I need the VIN. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find it.

To find the vehicle identification number (VIN) on your BMW, you should look inside the driver’s side front door or on the windshield by the dashboard. Those locations are usually where BMW prints the VIN, but your car may be an exception.
If you can’t find the number on your car, you can also check your documents. Your vehicle
registration
and insurance documents should both have the VIN listed under your car’s information. Your VIN will be made of 17 digits and won’t include the letters I, O, or Q—so it should be easy to recognize.
