What does the "er" stand for after the series number? For example: 5er, 3er... Is it to be said literally as 4 and 9 are said in the military phonetic alphabet such as five-er and three-er? Or does it stand for something?

I think the "E" is a coincidence, because that list also shows the "Entwicklungscodes" title above many models which DON'T start with an E;

you are correct... its said in the military phonetic alphabet such as five-er and three-er
5-er ... like when you're talking about your ride and you want to distinguish between models without having to be specific as to which one ... 530i, 550i, 650i, 760Li... etc

The E as an abbreviation for Entwicklungscode has apparently come to and end, as all the cars you are referring to without an E are newer projects. BMW has apparantly avoided having the same code as M-B (horror) which they would have had if they had continued with E100, E101 and so on. Instead they just changed to F for "Fahrzeug" and hence could start all over again with 01. Nice. And also marked the uniqueness of BMW by not using the E for Rolls and Minis.
I googled "Fahrzeug" for the english translation and I came up with it as being the word for "vehicle", that correct?

Refers to the facelift/changes to US 2008/EU2007 models. This article might help...
