Magnesium is only used on very high end cars. It is unlikely it would be on any car cheaper that $90,000 new. A magnesium alloy should have a very deep silver almost tan shine to it (generaly mate or flat). It will have a similar weight to aluminum but should not flex as much. Unless you are dealing with a high quality hardened aluminum casting. Then I cant help you unless I see it.
