Maybe because you read car forums, or even just bike forums where a lot of members talk about their cars? Most normal people don't know what it means.

I just looked up 3-series on wikipedia, and here's what it says:

BMW E21 - (1975–1983) 3 Series
BMW E30 - (1983–1991) 3 Series
BMW E36 - (1991–2000) 3 Series
BMW E46 - (1998–2007) 3 Series
BMW E90 - (2005–) 3 Series Sedan
BMW E91 - (2006-) 3 Series Touring
BMW E92 - (2007-) 3 Series Coupé
BMW E93 - (2007-) 3 Series Convertible

Can you look at those codes and tell me, how would you know that the first gen was an "E21" unless someone told you? And why do the numbers jump from E46 to E90? Is there any way you could know that without being told in advance?
