BMW 底盘号识别

BMW model type or chassis codes have been used since the beginning. We will call them Vehicle Codes.

You won't find these numbers on your car, but the "E" numbers are widely used to identify BMW automobiles. These codes are used by BMW internally, and they are so useful, people outside of BMW discovered them and started using them, too.

The E stands for Entwicklung, the German word for Development. That's because the E codes are assigned by BMW at the beginning of m odel development.

Sometimes, vehicle designations are followed by a variant code. This code is a number separated from the "E" by a slash. For example, E36/7 is the code for the Z3 roadster.

Here is a table of "E" numbers BMW uses, including some of the older type codes for popular 60's and 70's models:
