Because, especially with the 3 series, multiple chassis will overlap during a particular model year. For example, if in 2013 you wanted a 328i sedan, you got the F30 chassis. If you bought a 328i convertible, you just bought an E93. If you bought a 328i coupe, you bought an E92.
They're all 328i cars, but completely different chassis codes, and completely different cars.
Hang around BMW forums, it's a heck of a lot easier to identify a car by chassis code than explaining what model year and configuration the car is. And yes, some of us are utter BMW nerds.
