##### Abstract

For a closed manifold $M$, let $SFib\left(M\right)$ be the number of ways that $M$ can be realized as a surface bundle, up to ${\pi }_{1}$–fiberwise diffeomorphism. We consider the case when $dim\left(M\right)=4$. We give the first computation of $SFib\left(M\right)$ where $1 but $M$ is not a product. In particular, we prove $SFib\left(M\right)=2$ for the Atiyah–Kodaira manifold and any finite cover of a trivial surface bundle. We also give an example where $SFib\left(M\right)=4$.
