Will the BMW ISTA tool show engine vin?

I have discovered that the engine in my car is from a 2010 335i... this showed up in Carly. Is the engine vin viewable in bmw ISTA?

NOTHING will show the physical engine VIN.
Even the Carly thing you're looking at isn't. It's showing what the DME is from, and even that I'd say is not accurate.

Ah I had no idea... so the original ECU was replaced with a MSD81, so maybe that’s actually where the vin is from.

I have a 2008 135i, pretty sure it came with the MSD80 originally.
