E numbers ... tripple didgits?

[Gazman]

Hey,

You guys rekon they will run the 'e' numbers into the 100's? Or will they start with a new letter?

I mean they can't kill the 'e' can they? But then again saying "my BMW e134 etc. etc."

Cause they are up to e92 atm yeah?

Anyways, just food for though. Like I can see why they would just continue with it, but imo it just doesnt sound as good ... but it could just be what we are used to i suppose.

They've already annouced new generations in the F_ _ system.

F01 and F02 are the 7 series, short and long wheelbase.

For mine the went with a slash:

E36/7

Why not continue on that theme...:(

Because they skipped about a 50 numbers and couldn't go back cause that would just sound like the old car is better than the new car.

I don't think they are skipping numbers. The gaps represent failed or abandoned chassis markers in between the models we actually see, or so I've heard(not 100% sure).

Yeah i always assumed the skipped numbers were failures
