E92, E93, E this and E that

bobobeemer · 05-08-2007, 11:41 AM

Anyone have a list of the reference to the E #'s. I know the E92 refer to 335i coupe and E90 sedan... what are all the rest of the E's refer to ?

sorry... not that familiar with the real BMW terminology.

MX20 · 05-08-2007, 11:44 AM

E90 sedan
E91 wagon / touring
E92 coupe
E93 convertible

NYBMW335 · 05-08-2007, 11:44 AM

LOL..I feel you man, there are certain things that you just dont get what people are saying. Like when they abreviate words together. I stay like 10 mins staring at it so i could get a clue on what they are trying to say.

but back to your topic:

E90- SEDAN
E91- TOURING ( station wagon )
E92- COUPE
E93- CONVERTIBLE

thanks tintivilus

DFW_M · 05-08-2007, 11:55 AM

also, how and why they come up with the numbers?
e36 (all configs the same number) --> e46 (all configs the same number) --> e9x has different designation for a different configuration (Coupe, Sedan...).

and why 36, 46 then 90? Why not 56? Ot 47, or...

Anyone?

Good info--I had always wondered what the lower #'s were too.

Wonder if they will go to a new letter when the E9X is replaced?

Anyone?

it has to do with the chassis version they decided to use. at a later point, i guess bmw figured it'd just be easier to give individual #'s to differentiate the sedans, coupes, tourings, verts, etc...

the older nomenclature was a bit different and could expand out further. for example, on the e36:

E36/2 3 Series Coupe
E36/2S M Series (M3) Coupe
E36/2C 3 Series Convertible
E36/2CS M Series (M3) Convertible
E36/3 3 Series Touring
E36/4 3 Series Sedan
E36/4S M Series (M3) Sedan
E36/5 3 Series Compact
E36/7 Z Series (Z3 Roadster)
E36/7S M Series (M Roadster)
E36/8 Z Series (Z3 Coupe)
E36/8S M Series (M Coupe)

E9x's are the last of the E's. anything newer will be F numbers.

The explanation I've heard is that projects get an E number long before a final go/no-go. The "holes" in the master list are the projects that got canned sometime during development.

The link I posted was kind of sparse; the list from Wikipedia looks pretty complete to my eyes. There was also a thorough listing published in the Roundel in the past year or so to supplement the "common E-codes" overview in the classifieds section every month.

BayerischeMW · 05-08-2007, 07:02 PM

E actually has a meaning as it stands for "entwicklung" in deutsch, which means "development".
