Could someone explain...

[Onz]

Would someone be so kind as to explain or point me in the direction of an explanation of the history/reasoning behind the description for each generation of BMW. eg E30, E39, E46, E92 etc etc. How will they decide what 'E number' the next generation will get?

Thanks

Thankyou, how come they occasionally skip ahead e.g. between 12 and 21?

German numeracy is notoriously bad.
