Query on the new style V5 document

Hi,
Just got my new style RED V5 from the DVLA, and they have a new category in the vehicle details section. My V5 lists the car make as BMW, then type as ZR, followed by model Z435is. If anyone has this new type of document, could they please check to see if their's gives the type as ZR. My dealer has never seen any of the new documents, so wasn't able to confirm whether it was correct or not. The DVLA were no help either!! I have a feeling it may denote Z Roadster, and don't want to return the document to the DVLA if nothing is wrong with it. I'm rather wary of the threat to prosecute if you fail to notify them of any mistakes, although I imagine it would be hard to do so if the description is unclear, and their own staff don't know the answer!!
 
Just checked mine, it says:

Make: BMW
Type: Z89
Variant: LM32
Version: EURO5 5B
Model: Z4 SDRIVE23I AUTO
Body Type: Convertible
 
Thanks Lazerium. I guess if they don't explain what "Type" means, then nobody is going to know whether the document is correct or not. I've no idea what Z89 could refer to, so I suppose we will have to assume that as the models are correct, all is OK.
If not, maybe see you in court sometime...lol!!!

Not sure what all the DVLA mumbo jumbo means but the mistakes would I suggest relate to significant vehicle variation - colour, engine size, vin number etc
