Anyone know the model number (C or D) of a BMW801 engine with this Mfr. No. > 304068?

Thanks

304566 is quoted as a D-2, prior we found Wn with only 5 digits, we could guess that 304/305/306 series are 1942/1943 production

Remi can you state the source(s) where you got the number and model from?

That's come from A.I.2.g reports those concerning planes found in Tunisia

Greetings all,

Interesting postings. I am attaching a small list from my database file that includes BMW 801s from the 304 XXX WNr. series. Interestingly, most are listed as D-2s, save 304 204 (a test engine from Travemünde) listed as a D-II, and 304 301 (from a crashed Do 217) listed as an MA-2. Kutscha’s WNr. 304068 is the lowest number I have seen for the series (the above-mentioned 304 204 was the lowest in my files).
