Everyone please clue me in on the following Abreviations and any others that are out there.
ZHP CA
What do they mean and please include any others you might think of to help other new BMW visiters to reconize what they mean.
Thank you!

How about the meaning or the logical order of the models? I have no idea what an E63 is or an E90 or anything like that (E60, E647586, E4567???). I just know the cars by 330i or 760iL or 650i, etc. Can someone elaborate? Logical sequence? I have been wondering since I joined Bimmerfest! Thanks

Thanks Agent! What amazes me is that people actually memorize these numbers
Now I feel more part of Bimmerfest, though I think I will just stick to mentioning year and model...
