Hi

Normally that info is stamped on the back of the cylinder head where it is difficult to see.

The 2002 should be the Z3 engine with VVT. The VVT engine has a different cam cover with the VVT actuator mounted on the inlet side near the front of the engine.

Enjoy

Not necessarily. you could have the 1600 motor. The VIN plate will tell you, NB6 for 1600 or NB8 for 1800.
The 1600 has the coil pack on the exhaust side, the 1800 is on the inlet side. The VVT's have the coils between the plugs (I think)
