message: This article seems to only state the models available in the USA without saying so. The Mid Life section aiming to detail which model replaced which seems confusing at best.

message: Hi. Does anyone know why the E60 (released in 2003) has a lower model code than the E65 (released in 2001)? It is rare for model codes to not be in chronological order, so I think this would be good if an explanation could be added to the article. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 20:49, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for trying to clear up the year-old question, but sorry I don't follow. Here are the model codes in chronological order: E23 (7 Series), E28 (5), E30 (3), E32 (7), E34 (5), E36 (3), E38 (7), E39 (5), E46 (3), E65 (7), E60 (5), E90 (3). So usually the 7 Series is a smaller number than the 5 Series which comes after it. Or am I missing something? Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 07:40, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The 7 Series model code became smaller in 2008 with the introduction of the F01 and has been the same ever since.U1 quattro TALK 08:22, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: When the 5 and the 7 series were introduced, the 5 Series was placed below the 7 Series as it was a flagship model. This tradition was reflected in the model code up until the discontinuation of the E65 7 Series. The 7 Series has the smallest model number out of current BMW car lineup i.e G11 (7 Series), G15 (8 Series) and G30 (5 Series). U1 quattro TALK 08:28, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yep, I understand that the numbering reset when the F01, so the 7 Series has the lowest numbering. But I don't understand why the 2001 7 Series has a higher number (i.e. E65) than the 5 Series that followed it (E60)... despite all your efforts to explain it, sorry! Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 08:48, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because of the same logic I explained earlier. The 5 Series is placed below the 7 Series that is why. BMW doesn't follow chronological when introducing an entirely different series. That is true for models in the same series i.e 5 Series (E28, E34, E39 etc.)U1 quattro TALK 09:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Model codes: E60 vs E65 

message: Hello folks. Here is the reasoning behind my recent edit:
*Infobox: The subtleties of CKD vs full assembly are better discussed in the Production section. Same situation re involvement of designers and transmissions used for each model.
*Spelling:MOS:RETAIN
*Power units: kW and hp/bhp are the most common units in English-speaking countries
Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 00:50, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your recent edits only make the infobox vague and hard to understand. The infobox is meant to be a summary of the entire article. I suggest you see the infobox template. U1Quattro (talk) 02:26, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello U1Quattro. I disagree that it is vague and hard to understand. The infobox is not intended to be a summary of the entire article.  I went to the effort to describe the changes here, yet you still reverted my edit immediately. As per WP:BRD, it is not appropriate to revert my edit with each reply, not to mention that the revert is a case of WP:BABY. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 22:36, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The infobox is supposed to contain a summary of the articles most important points. Things like assembly (location), designer etc. are supposed to be there. Stop removing things without thinking why they are there. CKD vs full assembly can be written about in the article, removing the entire field is completely wrong. 2A04:4540:904:F700:98BF:D6B3:B0BD:A8D6 (talk) 10:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

text: In the case of the E60, CKD assembly is only of interest in the few countries where it is used. Therefore, I believe it is not a key point of the article and shouldn't be included in the infobox. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 09:14, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

message: 3rd time in a row, U1Quattro seem to be on a spree of using unfavourable images over perfectly fine ones. The latest is with the BMW 5 Series infobox picture.
U1Quattro replaced I think the perfectly fine example, sometimes quality doesn't doesn't always mean more pixels and has little to no background distraction and taken at quite a good focal length. They claim that the car was "dirty" even though I'm unable to see any on the car and the one they replaced is no difference.
The problem with the one U1Quattro replaced is that the angle is skewed and the background isn't the best. Thoughts? --Vauxford (talk) 16:10, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, the perspective is off. Toasted Meter (talk) 22:27, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: While I don't think the background is a problem (I'd say it's a slight improvement), the angle is definitely worse than the previous one. --Sable232 (talk) 02:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

text: Everyone else agrees that the previous one should be used. Please do not change the infobox image with one that was never discussed, this doesn't solve anything but being disruptive. --Vauxford (talk) 16:53, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: You going to revert a edit despite the majority showing favour to the previous image? What the point of discussing these dispute if you just going play your own games anyway. --Vauxford (talk) 16:59, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

text: How was that misconduct? I was trying to do the right thing and not edit warring. I'm doing everything what your meant to do when in a dispute. But despite doing all that you still want to have it your own way. --Vauxford (talk) 17:07, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

the first EUR version of the E60 (530i) is dated by production in 12/2001. Any objections if I would change the E60 release to either 12/2001 or to 2002 ? Thanks for your comments. Emulator99 (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
