M103 2.6 or 3.0? How can I tell?
 

Hi,
I got a "new" engine, a M103 and I wonder how I can identify if it's a 2.6l or 3l.
It runs perfectly so far, starts up like a new one but I want to know if it's a 2.6 or 3l one :).

How can I tell just by looking at the engine? I had a M103 3l before.

Thanks,
Andreas.

engine number might indicate displacxement

VIN is WDB 124026etc

Engine Number starts with 103940

Engine number appears on side of engine just behind the alternator.

124..................026

Wow... I just realized that the type number matches the displacement (closely)!

if the engine number is 10380.... it's 3.0L , if it's 10340.... its 2.6L

103.940 is the engine in the 260E/300E 2.6
