[QUOTE="TheFazz, post: 1318, member: 34"] I previously thought that the E numbers represented the sequential development of various BMW models. Each E number would represent a unique BMW chassis. Body variations (eg. convertibles, 3 series coupes etc) did not constitute a new E number. So you can have an E46 4 door sedan, 2 door coupe, a touring and a convertible. I previously also used to think that skipped E numbers were due to dropped proposals...But what happened between the current 7er (E65) and the previous 3er (E46)? Why the jump from E46 to E65 (or E60 for that matter)?Now, I believe the new 7er is an E65 and a E66 for the standard and long wheel base, respectively. Why two E numbers for the 7er?The E60 5er is produced after the 7er, but has a smaller E number... why?Next BMW produces the E90 3er... why the big jump again?What about the X5 and X3? what E numbers are coded for them?
