So where is the engine vin code?

I got a surprise when I checked my engine number. The engine had been replaced in 2006 with an M97 engine (the car's a 2003 S). The guy I bought the car from was not aware of this (he said). So my engine has 35,000 fewer miles than the rest of the car, not a bad thing.

Luck of the draw eh, so just curious, would you likely mention this or not if you were to ever sell the car again. In some ways it can be seen as a benefit but some people will just see it as fishy.
