jdstrickland is on a distinguished road
Bank1 is the bank that has the #1 cylinder, Bank2 is the bank that has the not #1 cylinder. On the inline sixes, Cylinder 1 is easy to find, on a V8 or V6 (not applicable to a BMW), #1 is not so easy to find. Although it should be the same on all engines from the same company. On my Ford with the Triton V8, #1 is on the right hand side of the engine. I don't know which side of the engine is #1 in your BMW, but #1 is always the forward most cylinder, so you can look at the engine to see which side is more forward than the other.
