[QUOTE="jarance, post: 199559, member: 21"] Extract from Wikipedia. Series Generations Internally, BMW associates an "e-code" for each generation of a series ("E" stands for Entwicklung, German for development or evolution). These "chassis codes" only change to signify a major redesign of a series, or the introduction of a new series.
