hi guys,

first post and it might seem like a very obvious question, but where can i find the VIN / CHASSIS number for my 318ti compact (X reg 2000) issue...i have looked under the bonnet but its just a haze of oil

is there anywhere specific i can look at? ive looked on and around the engine but cant see much under the oil...

any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
