Engine number ?????

[J.Seven]

Anybody knows where is placed the engine number on the X5 4.4L V8 ?
BMW Dealer are asking me 53,0 euros to give me this info because they have to drop the plastic covers under the engine to see the number
I can make this myself for nothing, anyway it would be easier if I had a trace to find the number. Thanks in advance

The engine number should be the same as the vin number.. As far as the engine model goes, it looks like your X is a pre-2004, so it's a M62TUB44.

Made a search here and found his :

I don´t believe the engine number on the 4,4L V8, is the same as 3.0D, but I´ll have a look.

Powers1, did you need to take out the under cover plastics in order to see the engine number? and why it´s needed a flashing light to see the numbers, will a lantern be enought to see the number?
