Each new BMW model is chosen among several competing design studies. Each of these design studies gets its own Entwicklung or E (now F) code. Only one of the design studies is chosen as the new model, of course. This accounts for many of the skipped E/F codes.

I think that it will be fun to learn the new codes…..after all, was not one of the new 3 Series and E92 or E93??? Gosh, we were definitely running out of numbers!!!

Cheers,

It’s very possible. I don’t know that they get the coding, but it would answer the question.

do concept cars get an E/F number? if yes then it could account for some of the skipped numbers

adood84, Honestly, I really wish I knew why. But I have no idea. I’m sure there is some reason along the lines of keeping the numbers far enough apart so that people don’t confuse a 6-Series with a 3-Series or something.
