Engine code-where is that?
Do M10 (and the same question applies for M20) engines have an engine number? My car has never _well, so far
_ had any engine conversion done. Shouldn't there exist a number on the block, or somewhere, exactly the same as the VIN on the shell?
Does anyone know?

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Thanks
Will check.
Although, from what I see in the drawings, it's really difficult to check down there

If old BMW is leaving oil marks after driving, he just marks his territory.
