E=kode chasis; M=kode engine. Yang di Indonesia umumnya ada E30,E36,E34,E46,E90 etc.
Engine yang umum ada di Indonesia adalah M10, M20 (jarang…),M40 (paling banyak), M43,M50,M52, diikuti seri N pada generasi >2002.
Dimulai dari M40 kode engine biasanya diikuti kode lain misal: M40B18 (1800 cc), M50B20 (2000 cc) dst…
Mesin kode M40 digunakan pada BMW tipe E30 318i dari tahun 1988-1995, dari tahun 1992 bodinya ganti ke tipe E36 (bulldog).
Pada tahun 1996 bodinya tetep E36 tetapi mesinnya ganti ke tipe M43, bedanya di mesin ini tidak lagi digunakan timing belt, tp timing chain (rantai kamprat), mesin ini terus dipakai bahkan ketika bodi berganti ke tipe E46 hingga tahun 2001, baru setelah itu ganti pake engine tipe N dimana masih disebut 318i tp volume/cc nya sudah ke 2000 cc.
Jadi kalo mau beli tipe E46 318i biar beda sekalian ya beli yang >2001, sebab kalo beli <2002 berarti cuma beli bodi aja belum beli teknologi engine yang lebih baru. Pada mesin 6 cyl, dengan kode M50B20 dan M50B20TU (DOHC Vanos) digunakan pd BMW 320i dan juga 520i muncul hanya sekejap sekitar 1993-1994 (beberapa ada yg tahun 1995), kemudian diganti engine tipe M52 yang digunakan juga pada BMW 323i, hanya beda di cc saja yaitu 2500 cc. Bedanya kalo di M50 masih bisa menggunakan premium tapi di M52 sudah riskan kalo menggunakan premium (boring bisa aus karena bahannya dari NIKASIL).
Jadi kalo beli BMW selain perhatikan tipenya juga perhatikan tahun pembuatannya. Karena itu tadi seri sama tapi tahun beda bisa beda banget specnya. Contoh : E30 M40 dg E36 M40, bodi beda, mesin sama tetapi panjang langkah piston dan ECU Managementnya juga sudah berbeda.
