chassis codes

E34 - 5-Series 1988-1996

That car only went through 1995. The funny story there was that the 1996 Audi A6 got outsold by BMW in calendar year 1996 despite the fact that BMW did not actually have a 1996 model on the market. :lol:

PS the internal chassis code for my car is B5!

Meh, I only used the years provided from Wikipedia (which may be different depending on country, anyhow). I only really know the generational years for the 3-series, having an E36.
 
I'll just explain Toyota's flat out.

For example, AE86

A = Engine code, in this case a 4A-GE
E = Chassis, E is used in all versions of the Corolla I can think of
8x = Generation (generally)
x6 = Variation in the chassis.

Some common chassis letters

W = MR2
A = Celica (RWD), Supra
T = Celica (FWD/AWD)
E = Corolla, Prizm, Nova; FWD, RWD, and AWD versions
P = Starlet

Engine codes go like so 4A-GE

4 = Block generation
A = Engine series
- = Separates block and engine series info from details
G = Head, Yamaha in this case
E = EFI

Other letters of interest

T = Turbo
Z = Supercharged
F = Toyota head, economy
U = Carb'd (I think)


I'll get more info as I remember stuff... oh, and add AE82 to the Corolla list (FWD late 80's model) and the AE85 never sold in the US, the SR5 RWD Corollas were also AE86 models.
