Engine serial help
Can anyone read/decode this?
To me it looks like M96/03?66?00981
I'm not sure the character after 3 or any really it's very hard to read. The car is a 2004 40th so i think the character after the 3 should be 'S' but it looks like a sh1itty 8 or a B to me.

I'm trying to figure out how the engine number proves that it's the 345hp engine. I'll contact a dealer too. See if I can find info that way.

I'm not an expert on this, but when I looked up my engine number (it's a replacement) my research told me that AT appears in all replacement engine numbers along with the year the replacement was built.
I don't know if the X51 is an exception but I didn't bump into any information saying it was.
The safe bet is using the dealer. My original point was if you knew what the engine number should be, it could help decipher the collection of dots that make up the SN.
