dumb engine identification question

Ok, I bet this has been answered, but for the life of me, I could find it via search. When I to go part sits and fill in the information on my car, I am always presented with 2 engine choices L4 1.6L N14B16A OR L4 1.6L W11B16A. How do I identify which one is actually my engine? And yes, I'll accept any heckling for asking

W11B16A is supercharged 1st Gen (R53) engine.

^ Yep. W11B16A is also the R52 convertible models that go up to 2008. If you want to learn more about your engine we have a pretty cool tech article that covers an overview about all the engine management systems your R56 N14 has. Check it out here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...29_catalog.htm click the tech info tab at the top and then select R56. It's under fuel injection and is titled Engine Management Systems.

Also, take a look at the RealOEM illustrated parts list site --- http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select all you need is the last few characters of your VIN.

on this site when a part is located it's giving a price? So whom do I order this from? at that price? Am I missing something?

Real OEM prices are not always accurate as prices fluctuate over the years.

Its just a guide price , not the actual price . most of the time its higher . Prices change month to month as the Realoem is the BMW ETK online and its updated once every couple month. Not a part distributor, just a guide site,

Take the 11 digit part number, copy and paste into our site ; Search box, then hit search.
