My car has somehow lost its vin tag that sits on the right hand suspension tower. Its an 87 M3.

I can get a new one but dont know what the numbers above the chassis number should be

Most cars have ABE...

Other boxes are self explanatory.

The 1st box is model
2nd box is engine
3rd gearbox
4th colour code
