Yes, MINIs (and even Minis) can play too

Let's start off with the most common question.

Q: What's all this "E" business?
A: BMW chassis codes are designated with an E. Here's a list:
code:

E9 	65-75 	2500-3.0 CS/i/L Coupes
E12 	72-81 	5 Series
E21 	75-83 	3 Series
E23 	77-87 	7 Series
E24 	77-89 	6 Series
E26 	78-81 	M1
E28 	82-88 	5 Series
E30 	84-91 	3 Series
E31 	90-98 	8 Series
E32 	87-94 	7 Series
E34 	89-96 	5 Series

E36/7 	97-02 	Z3
E38 	95-02 	7 Series
E39 	97-04 	5 Series
E46 	99-05 	3 series
E52 	00-04 	Z8
E53 	00- 	X5
E60 	05- 	5 Series Sedan
E61             5 Series Touring
E63             6 Series Coupe
E64             6 Series Convertible
E65             7 Series short wheelbase
E66             7 Series long wheelbase
E67             7 Series protection
E68             7 Series hydrogen
E70             X5
E71             X6
E82             1 Series Coupe
E83 	03- 	X3
E85 	03- 	Z4
E86             Z4 coupe
E87             1 Series Hatch (non-US)
E88             1 Series Convertible
E90 	06- 	3 Series Sedan
E91 	06- 	3 Series Touring
E92 	06- 	3 Series Coupe
E93     07-     3 Series Convertible
F01             7 Series
The most common ones are the 3-series codes, E30/E36/E46, and the E34 and E39 5-series. Memorize the rest if you care, most of us can't be bothered to remember the X5 chassis code.

Hello BMW thread!

The OP is really old and appears to be missing stuff like a Z4 someone would like added as per the mod report -

quote:

OP should have the E89 Z4 Chassis code added, 2009-2016. The original poster hasn't posted in the thread in nearly a decade.

Could a bunch of stuff that is needed for the OP be posted so mods can edit it in? I'd prefer not to thread reboot but if that's what you all want we can do that instead with a shiny OP

Thank you for your consideration :)
