Bmw e10 carpet

And it’s Model 114, not e114 to add to the confusion.

Personally I don't quite care enough which way is 'originally correct,' but for those of you that do, you COULD email the German 02 club to ask for their take on the E10 matter.  Hell if you want, I'll even write it in German for you to keep up my practice, but again, only if someone cares enough to deem this necessary. . .

Sorry, didn't mean to rattle everyone's cage. Just curious as to why the Germans, of all people, would have E10 & E10/73.

It sure is a lot easier to search on eBay for "e10" than "BMW 2002."

 

Obviously BMW didn't anticipate search engines when they named this thing. ?

sshhhh! that's a secret! lol

If BMW uses the E10 designation...isn't that enough? They own the Classic department and at the end of the day...marketing has the say...

Evidence here....smoking gun...

It's in German, but the E10 translates well ?

haha, ironic as BMWclassic has publicly stated that "E10" was incorrect.  Perhaps that memo didn't transfer over to the marketing department.

 

Once again, I'd love to see in-period evidence of the nomenclature being used to describe the 2002 (literature, manuals, parts books, etc.), THAT would be a smoking gun.
