Newbie question

Sorry if the answer to this is buried somewhere in the vast forum,

Where do the monikers (F07, F10...) come from? Is there a meaning?

FWIW, they appear to be internal factory designations for model ranges, where F07 refers to the 5xx GT series.

chassis code, generation specific

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BMW_vehicles

for example, 5 series . . .
BMW F07 - (2009) 5 GranTurismo
BMW F10 - (2010) 5 Series
BMW F11 - (2011) 5 Series Touring/Sports Wagon

BMW E60 - (2004–present) 5 Series
BMW E61 - (2004–2007) 5 Series Touring/Sports Wagon
BMW E62 - (2004–2007) 5 Series Protection

. . .

I hear that the "F" stands for fun.
