Telling engine size of a car.

[styley]

How do you tell what size of engine is in a car? It doesn't say on the boot so I'm stumped.

[Fitzer]

It says on the registration document.

it tells u on a metal plate on your engine along side the chassis number

Some cars tell you in the name - BMW 725 is a 7 series 2.5l, the 318 is a 3 series 1.8l etc, what is the car ?

Astra estate. This year.

Hi
If you visit this site & enter the registration number it will tell you all you wish to know - like magic.

click on vehicle enquiry twice & next - enter reg

hope you can work it out OK

No such thing as bmw 725I and some 318i are 1.9 litre other 2.0litre,Germa cars very bad in this confusion

You could measure it with a tape measure.

Some cars have the engine size stamped onto the head. On some cars you can't see it but on others you can but if you're mechanically minded you can tell by the size of the block itself.

some 318s have a 2 litre also. dont know of any bmw 1.9 litre engine though??
