GB-335xiCoupe Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Does anyone know what the "e" stands for? e90, e92, e30, etc etc. Maybe some Germany word meaning chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 No such thing as a stupid question!It was the abriviation of the German word Entwicklungscode meaning Development Code. 'M' simply stands for motor. The new codes have just gone with the next letter of the alphabet. At this rate it won't be long till we have 'E' chassis codes and nobody will know what anyone is to referring to anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
