BMW should have stuck to the original 3-5-7 model naming scheme instead of muddying the waters and diluting the brand. Don't even get me started on the "M" designations.
Yeah I agree. odds are practical versions of evens which are sporty. Odds have sedans and Wagons. Evens have coupes and cabriolets.

But wait: you can also get a 4 door version of the two door version of a 4 door car if you get the odd numbered GC.

It's a naming scheme that makes no sense.

Even more of a joke is that the 2002 and the 2 series are 'the same line'.
