View source for E-Numbers List

The following is a list of all the ''Entwicklung'' or [[BMW#E-Numbers|E-Numbers]] used during BMW's development process.

Note that we've organised this list by number rather than chronologically. BMW's original E-system started at E100 with the Isetta "[[BMW#Post-War|Bubble Car]]" before switching to the E3 in 1968. There are also a few oddities where BMW have recycled E-numbers; E1 and E2 are good examples of this.

Pay particular attention to the number of Electric cars BMW experimented with - the E7 project started in 1977, and the existence of E29, E33 and E37 prototypes show that BMW maintained a keen interested in developing non-combustion vehicles. The existence of the E68 "hydrogen" 7 Series is another indication of BMW's search for alternative fuels sources.

There are also an interesting number of [[Touring]] models which never saw the light of day, or which were only produced in minute quantities.
