Guide: All BMW F Codenames
BMW has a development code for each generation and until recently every BMW carried an E project number. “E” stands for Entwicklung, or development and it dates back to the E3 and E9 models.
With more and more models being produced, the “E” numbers moved into triple digits which helped BMW transition to a new nomenclature based on the “F” codename.
First model to emerge under the new F codename was the F01 and F02 7 Series which debuted in 2008. For years now BMW fans and not only have begun to refer to specific BMW models by their codename rather than year or variants, so we decided to compile a list of those new F codes that we know they correlate to current and future products.

(Updated with input from our reader Tony)
It also remains unknown how BMW chooses the numbers in the F codename and especially why there are gaps between them, and we already know that BMW is moving with the next generation 7 Series to the “G” range.
