i wondered if anybody could confirm with me wer the vin plate is located on an e30?

sum pc plod pulled me the other day after a case of road rage and speeding, n then tried tellin me my car had been in a smash because the vin plate was in the rong place i'm sure its in the same place as my other e30 unless i'm going mad (jst above the right hand headlight) bt i dnt believe him as he didnt even know how to open the bonnet made him jump tho when it hit him in the leg :) , anyway i didnt argue with pc plod coz he let me of 6 points :)
