Reading BMW numbers
For BMW models with 30 and above (330, 335, 530, 540, 745 etc.), I usually read them as Three Thirty, Five Forty, Seven Forty Five, etc.
For BMW models less than 30, I usually read them as Three Two Eight, Five Two Five, etc. How do you guys read the numbers?

Just the way you read the >30 numbers. I make no distinction for 328, I'd read it as Three Twenty Eight.

If it is obvious that I'm talking about a 3 series, I'll say this:
328 = Two Eight (Never Twenty Eight) 330 = Thirty 335 = Thirty Five or Three Five (I use them interchangably, even in the same sentence!) 3--xi = -- Ex The last one, just means I add an ex on the end. Such as this: 328xi = Two Eight Ex If it isn't obvious I'm talking about a 3, then I'll actually say 3 first. Like this: 328 = Three Twenty Eight (yes, it's different from above) 330 = Three Thirty 335 = Three Thirty Five (I never say Three Three Five) 3--xi = Three -- Ex The Ex is used the same as above: 328xi = Three Twenty Eight Ex If I'm talking about two cars in particular and one has X and the other doesn't, then I'll refer to the non-x car as its number (eg. Two Eight) and the X car as simply "Ex". |

When shuttling customers I always hear about the 300 series, 500 series, 600 series and so on... it really bugs me for some reason. Its a 325,330,335. I understand its the same thing, but it really gets to me
