Where are the VIN plates on 5 series ?

[windsorrob]

Currently looking to buy a 5 series - E39 model, poss yr 2000 / 2001.

Could somebody let me know where all of the VIN plates are - I've seen one stamped onto the top of the suspension turrets under the bonnet - I presume there is also a plate on the engine somewhere ?

Is there also another one elsewhere on the car ?

Any info appreciated,

Rob.

There is one below the wiper on the passanger side, behind the windscreen.
