ever since ive been into cars, everything has been referred to by chassis/engine code. When i had my explorer, we had transmission, transfer case, and differential codes too. Its very specific that way, and is a great tool for someone who takes a few minutes out of their life to learn whats what. when i was into hondas, it was the same way. if someone says they have an ebp ej2 with a b18c and a ys1, i know everything about their car, how many doors it has, what color it is, what their gear ratio's are, whether they have an lsd or not, what what their valve cover looks like, how much power they make. all from 4 little codes.
My last car was an e30 with an m20b25. most people on this forum now know pretty much everything there is to know about it.
Its not a BMW elitist thing. Its an enthusiast thing. obviously you aren't an enthusiast, at least not on the level with most of the people on this forum. Its a fact of life.
