Decode Engine Number (suspect swapped engine)
Hi all,
Can anyone in here decode my engine number or offer some insight/experience?
I've just bought a 2000 E55 AMG and the engine number is different to what i find in the online VIN decoders, I think it's the "right" engine but the number is different, had a google but can't really find anything usueful...
VIN - WDB2100741A966043
Engine number according to VIN lookup - 113 980 60 009 343
Engine number that i see stamped on the block/transmission interface - 113 980 60 006 256
Is this anything to worry about? Possibly online VIN data is inaccurate or has this thing likely had a transplant in its history???
Any insight appreciated, thanks in advance!

Excellent thank you so much for confirming!
I'm new to Mercedes this is my first ever MB car, I've been a BMW owner/hobbyist for 20+ years so it's all new to me and i'm just starting to learn
I see you are located in Abu Dhabi? I live in Dubai (UK immigrant), but probably moving to AD sometime in the next year, is there an benz owners club or any car meets in the area?
