I know BMW’s official vernacular including model names like M3, M240i, etc. But in BWM circles online, owners often refer to them by another name such as F22, G80, and what have you.

My question is, how do you identify the latter? For example, if you click on the 1 Series 1addicts.com forums, you'll see F22. But if you click on the 2 Series 2addicts.com forums, you'll also see references to F22.

I'm brand new to BMW so I might just need a crash course on BMW language.
