1 Series E87, 3 Series chassis codes E30, E46, E90/E91; 5 Series chassis codes E28, E34, E39, E60/E61; 6 Series E24, E63, E64; 7 Series E23, E32, E38, E65/E66; 8 Series E31; X Series E53, E70, E71, E83; Z Series E30, E36, E52, E85; MINI R50/R53, R55/R56. Meaning of chassis codes: The chassis code consists of one letter followed by two digits, in the format axx. The previous generation all used E chassis, the new generation uses F chassis, while MINI uses R chassis. Chassis code breakdown: The first digit following the letter indicates the vehicle's positioning, with smaller numbers representing higher-end models. The second digit denotes variations of the chassis model. For example, a 0 ending indicates the base model, a 1 ending usually denotes the touring version. The M high-performance division has two types of chassis codes. One type shares the same code as regular models, with M-series models added after the code, such as F10, M5. The other type uses unique codes, such as F80 for the new four-door M3.
