Where to find the VIN on a BMW 428i
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every 428i, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a BMW 428i all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A BMW 428i whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
