Mallard;

Thanks for the response to my query. I wound up buying the 318iA for my daughter (she will pay me back!) and wanted to verify the order data.

Really appreciate the information on the VIN numbers. Long my this thread rule.

and Robbo, the M44 (318i) engine has a chain drive, the tensioner will wear out before the chain does.

Best
