Agree + another Q
I also always thought the designations were simply chronological. Follow the E numbers through etc.
Anyway; F90 -vs- G30 ?
Why, unlike any other M5 did the F90 designation not be the same as the (saloon) 5 series of the time.
My guess is that the F90/M5 started development (simply got in there on the bureaucracy to get budget to start) before the new 5 series it was based on. Its a thought I can't shake. Did, for the first time, the F90 M5 get budget and a designation before the 5 series it was going to use ? If that speculation is correct, what in particular technology got that attention, devoid of the majority of the car it was going to (re)use ?
