How to identify engine size
How to identify engine size
Hi all, I bought what I thought was a 2.2 litre Z3 from interstate (Australia) and upon looking up the VIN found it was 2.0 litre! Is there any other way of finding out the engine size which has the # 206S421369363? Thanks

Re: How to identify engine size
In Europe at least, the 2.2 M54 engine uses an inlet manifold with 'figure of eight' shaped inlet branches, and catalytic converters mounted on the exhaust port ends of the headers.
The 2 litre M52tu models use a manifold with smaller circular inlets, and cats mounted in the exhaust pipes under the floor.
All the 2.2 engines I have seen which have air conditioning are not fitted with a viscous coupling-driven cooling fan, leaving the AC condensor fan to do the work.
The 2.2 is a 'Drive by wire' engine, so does not have a throttle cable.

A Z3 is not just for Christmas - it's for life!
