bmw series.

what does those series 4 la series 5 la series 6 or stand for?
does each series have their own unique feature? -
the bigger the number, the larger the CC and the more expensive.
-
Not necessarily bigger number means larger CC and more expensive. How do you explain maybe 330i and 523i? A better way to put it will probably be the different series cater to different demographics such as age group, income level and lifestyle?Originally posted by huoye:the bigger the number, the larger the CC and the more expensive. -
correct me if i'm wrong but i heard that the first number is the model number
EG: 7 series, 5 series and the 3 series
second number is the CC, hence the larger the bigger
not too sure about the last one though... -
asking what 1 3 5 6 7 series stands for is just like asking what vios altis camry stands for..
-
i have the same idea about the first number..Originally posted by casshern:correct me if i'm wrong but i heard that the first number is the model number

and for the second and third number both for its engine capacity.. not just the second only.. -
ya.....3.3.0, 3.2.5, 7.4.5, 7.3.0, 5.3.0, 5.2.5, 6.3.0,
BMW got 4 series??? -
Again, not necessarily. Take for example the E46 318i. If based on your assumption, then the E46 318i will be 1.8l engine which is not true. Another example is the E60 520i which is based on a 2.2l engine.Originally posted by onefour02:i have the same idea about the first number..

If I am not wrong, 4 series will be based on the 3 series but of a convertible and coupe model.Originally posted by dcx:ya.....3.3.0, 3.2.5, 7.4.5, 7.3.0, 5.3.0, 5.2.5, 6.3.0,

yeah. heard the new M3 will be also called M4.Originally posted by AF1:If I am not wrong, 4 series will be based on the 3 series but of a convertible and coupe model. -
they're dropping the 4 series idea and will be sticking to the 3 series designation even for the coupes/cabrios.Originally posted by AF1:If I am not wrong, 4 series will be based on the 3 series but of a convertible and coupe model. -
It use to represent the engine capacity till recently, when they change it and it just doen't make sense anymoreOriginally posted by AF1:Again, not necessarily. Take for example the E46 318i.

What's the point of calling it 520i when it is 2.2L and 523 and 525 are both 2.5L
the even nos use to be for sports coupe ... Z4, 6 series, Z8, 850iL
now even have X3 & X5
Guess when the expand their range, they also confused
-
7 series for people who wana show off n have money
5 series is family..somewhere in between (quite a good car too)
3 series is for yuppies -
Z for roadsters, X for SUVs.Originally posted by fondue:It use to represent the engine capacity till recently, when they change it and it just doen't make sense anymore

1,3,5,6,7,8
Z,X,M,H (hydrogen series)
Currently, these are the only models I know of.
the numbers behind USED to signify the capcaity of the car. For example 520 is 2000cc..
I think the numbers now used is signify the features of the car, and perhaps a rounded up/down figure of the car's capacity..
For example the 745Li has some additional features compared to its smaller 730i... -
the Z cars are a series of their own and not all are even numbered. in fact, the first 2 were the Z1 and Z3. Z8 was a later addition to the family and the Z4 is the replacement for the Z3.

IIRC, there's no H series. the H is only a suffix to indicate that the cars are powered by hydrogen. much like how a D suffix denotes that the car is diesel powered. L suffix indicates that the car is a stretched, longer wheelbase version.[/b]Originally posted by zerocool85:1,3,5,6,7,8

Don't bother about the numbers. If you have S$338,000..... buy an M3. The king of sweden is driving one. He doesn't even want to look at Volvos and Saabs.
