Just like other German rivals, BMW uses a mixture of numbers and letters for their main model names. If you look at the rear bumpers of a BMW you will find 3 digit numbers followed by a single letter. If you are a lover of BMW visit Luxury Car Rental Dubai.
The first digit is what indicates which model the car is. Usually, to call out a certain BMW model on the highway you will mention the first digit followed by word series, for example when you see the number 740i on a BMW. You will say that is seven series.
The other two numbers indicate which power train the car is fitted with the higher the number the stronger the engine is. However, these numbers are not representative of the exact count of horsepower or how many cylinders the engine has instead you could think of these as certain code names for certain engines in the lineup.
For certain engines in the lineup finally, the letter at the end indicates whether the car is a patrol diesel or some sort of hybrid. Simply ‘i’ for petrol, ‘d’ for diesel, and ‘a’ for a hybrid.
Different Models Of BMW
There are 8 different models in the BMW fleet. These eight can be classified into two groups even number of models are considered copay cars. While odd number models are normal vehicles. Starting with the one series this car is the only hatchback in the lineup.
The 2 series are based on the one series but this is the coupe version of that. In recent years it used to be a two-door coupe only. However, BMW launched the all-new two-series grand copay which is an affordable copay. The grand coup name is a trend with all copay models in the lineup.
The copay name is not only used for 2 door cars that are only one part of the story. Styling features of coupe cars include sloping side roofs and frameless windows. The top-selling car for BMW is a 3 series which is a compact car that competes with the likes of Mercedes C-class and Audi A4.
The 4 series is the coupe version of the 3 series used to come with grand copay models in the previous generations. However, BMW is yet to announce that version for the all-new 4 series. The 5 series is the mid-size sedan in the lineup competing with the E class and the A6 and it just got a slight facelift this year. Luxury Car Rental Dubai, offer a BMW car for rent.
