645ci - Chassis label / 'EEC whole vehicle approval plate'?

[LankyPaddy]

New guy after some urgent help!

I have an 04 645ci and I'm trying to export it to New Zealand.

I've been told I need to find the "whole type approval plate" or "chassis label" - looks like the pic below.



For all the searching I've done I can't find it.

Anyone know where it might be?

Many thanks for any help.

Have you looked behind the trim in the boot?

I haven't dug any further than looking in the tyre well around the fuses etc.

Haven't started pealing back carpet. Any idea where I might need to look?

Top of suspension mount maybe?

THat looks like it's under the bonnet.

Door shuts?

The VIN number is stamped onto the top of the suspension housing under the bonet. Some pictures I've seen have the sticker there but I can't see one.

One issue is that there is so much stuff tightly packed in I can't see much of the body work

Can't see anything on any door shut, or on/under the bonnet itself.

(Included here in case anyone stumbles on this thread in the future)

Just spoke to BMW customer support (the 0800 number).

I was told I should e-mail [e-mail] and they could provide the information I'm looking for.

I was also told if I sent them my name, address, contact details, destination country of export and last 7 digits of the VIN. They can produce a Certificate of Conformity and sort out all the required paperwork.

So it appears my car may not have a sticker, but BMW can sort out the paperwork anyway.
