I've also heard some weird explanations as well why 4er label was dropped.

Eg. "Vierer" pronunciation too similar to "Fuehrer".
Also: in Japanese language 4 has the same pronunciation as their word for "death".

Simlar case with 2er. Hint: BMW 2-series = BMW too serious.

But I guess that's just BS.
