This sounded easy enough until you realize that a 335 and a 550 don’t really add up.

Simple enough, right? But then the numbers following the series number began to reflect a performance calculation: the engine displacement in cubic centimeters divided by 100. Odd numbers equaled four doors and even two. Then, all hell broke loose.Īfter resurrecting the 2, 4 and 6 series, BMW adopted a nomenclature structure to reflect the number of doors of a vehicle. And even the electric “Project i” series was OK, and the i8 is so cool that nobody panicked. Then came the SUVs, X models denoting the all wheel, “x-drive” system, so that made sense. Plain, simple, straightforward - all was well in the world.
At its core was the 3 series (rich kid), 5 series (corporate wonk) and the 7 series (his divorce attorney). Since the 1980s, BMW has enjoyed a wide array of numbers, but it was easy to keep them straight. Join in and get a grip on BMW naming conventions. Are these legitimate, needed brand additions, or are these revenue-generating regurgitations of the ultimate driving machine? And is there any logic to them? Yes, no and well, kinda, sorta, maybe. What gives? The Bimmer used to be the one car brand whose numbering system was logical and consistent, and now those days are gone. What’s the deal with the endless variations of BMW models? In an era where car companies are ruthlessly killing off brands, lines and nameplates, BMW is adding them at head-spinning speed.
