What do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?

750Li, 750i, 550i, 135i, 328i, 528i. 528xi ,M3, M5, M6, X1 etc. its not the size of the engine obviously,or CC size displacement then what do all those different letter %26amp; number symbols mean for the BMW vehicles?What do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?The first # is the series model. The 7 series, the 5 series and the 3 series, for example. The 3 series are generally smaller, lighter, 5 series, the mid sized and the 7 series a bit longer and bigger.



The 50 as in 750 or the 28 as in 328 refer "roughly" to the engine size. In other words, it's "roughly" a 5.0 litre engine, but it may be 4.8L, for example. For instance the 740i was a bit less at 3,982 cc, but it's right there... A 735i/L is roughly 3,430 cc.



The M usually refers to specially tuned "sport" type editions, while the x (at the end) usually refers to special suspension as in for snow. The L at the end refers to a "longer" wheel base that typical "i" models, usually just a few inches. You may also run across a "d" at the end referring to diesel versions.



Their Z series are the tiny, sporty roadsters which are about the size of a Mazda Miata, in my judgment.



The X series if I remember correctly is their SUV series which was mounted on their 5 series frames/dimensions. So imagine a beefy 5 series under the hood.



There is a nice writeup on wikipedia below:What do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?
ITs just to classify and it is to be more specific.

Suppose u had sumone saying "i have a BMW"...u wouldnt know which one.



But if sumone said "I have the 750Li BMW" then u would probably know which BMW it is(if u know about BMW's)



Hope i helped.:)What do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?im not entirely sure myself but i think its just the model make so that its easier to catergorise, instaed of just saying BMW and getting confused which one.

i think m3 m5 m6 is mark 3 mark 5 etc...

i could be wrong but that makes more sense.



hoped it helped a little xWhat do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?
The first number is the chassis series--basically the size of the car. The second 2 numbers are the engine displacement in liters (just put a decimal point between the numbers.) So a 328 is a 3 series chassis with a 2.8 liter engine. M cars are specially tuned versions of various models done by the BMW factory. X is the SUV chassis. The letters after the numbers refer to special features that differentiate that model from others. 750Li is a 7 series with a 5 liter engine, a lengthened chassis and fuel injection.What do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?OK, bear with me because the explaination I was given is sooooooo easy.

750i means the BMW is a series 7 with 5.0 litre v8 injected..

550i means the BMW is a series 5 with 5.0 litre v8 injected.

328i means the BMW is a series 3 with 2.8 litre 6 cylinder injected.

525 means the BMW is a series 5 with 2.5 litre 6 cylinder non-injected(525 has no i following it, therefore, non-injected.)

Then the M3, M5 etc is the GT or Racing Version if you like of a Series 3 and a Series 5.

What do the numbers of the BMW cars mean like you know the?
The numbers use to mean displacement. Not anymore. Anytime you see the ///M badge, Think performance. Anytime you see the xi or now as BMW calls it the Xdrive badge it means that car is equipped with BMW's Xdrive intelligent all wheel drive system.



The Numbers just mean what series car(i.e Audi's A4, A6,A8.

Mercedes Benz's C350, E350,S550)
