Tony Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I know i go on and on about them but why do they make it sooooo complicated? We have a BMW 7 series, finally we concluded it was an E38 Then it wanted the series field Then it wanted the wheels size 16" 17" or 18" Then it wanted to know if we were just measuring the chassis or adjusting the chassis All of that can be seen from this screen shot Next we are flagged with all manor of warnings Then it was add weight time and £80 worth of fuel Just in case we were getting bord it now wants the body height Next up some more warnings Finally we corrected the Toe which took 5min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89mustang Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I find usually that the model code will be on the gas struts of the boot lid for most BMW models. Bonnet struts fit more ie saloon, coupe, estate and will be marked with all 3 variants, but boot ones seem unique. Lettering is large as well!

CIH Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 If you think they're tough try locating Toyota Landcruiser models. Must be over 3 dozen variants listed, going back to the seventies, and there's nothing to assist in tracking down the specific model. Just a big list of Toyota model numbers. I'm probably more familiar with a fair few Toyota model codes than most (AE86 Corollas, St202/205 Celicas etc -I can thank years of Gran Turismo for that) but Landcuisers are a total blank.
