Well what comes to mind is the mid year and cross over cars,
For example the E-46 4 door was out while the E-36 was the coupe
And the E-30 was carried 2 years into the E36 as the convertible choice
So you cant say a "'92 325" because a '92 325 was 2 different bodies
Same in 99. With the 328, now bring in the E36/7 (aka Z3) and E36/5
(318ti) it confuses the deal even more...
So instead of referring to your car as a '99 328 they are almost always
called by chassis deg.
Because of the cross over commonality cars are often referred to by E and M
designations
Not to mention using the same name through 3 generations of the same car
gets confusing
325= E30, E36, E46
make sense?
If not a good source is

2 years old but still pretty good

Does anyone know why the BMW M3 seems to be only car in Street Prepared
which is listed by its factory chassis designation? That is, why are E30
& E36 used, but not, say, FC3S ( RX-7 ) or SW21 ( MR2 ) or 993 ( 911 )?
Idle minds and all...
