I have the following numbers
On the BOSCH sticker in the middle I have the following
0 261 203 484
1 744 605 (in large print)
and then under the "made in germany" heading a load of smaller codes
Now there is another sticker with a BMW logo on it that has a chassi number and then
0FFFFFFFFFFD
1740172
1744605
1427407 (in larger text)
Which are the important numbers to match?
Thanks in advance for the help
