BMW L-i-x-s

[demha88]

what do these letters stand for. i know x stands for xDrive, but what about the rest

L, i, and s

[jollyeskimo]

i = (originally: fuel injected) typically refers to a higher-than-base performance model now I think

L = long wheelbase... typically premium/luxury models with extra features

s = sports model....upgraded brakes/suspension



also....

e = economy engine
d = diesel engine
t = turbo charged engine (td = turbo diesel, tds = intercooled turbo diesel), or touring (earlier models)
c = coupe

M = monkey

[B0000rt]

x = four wheel drive.

[seftonm]

Correction:
i = gasoline engine with fuel injection
d = diesel engine, including turbo and dual turbo

[wing0]

M for monkey....
M = MORE POWA!

i = gasoline engine
d = diesel engine, including turbo and dual turbo

hmm you're probably right about gasoline... don't see any plain non-i models in the current lineup, could've swore they had them before though.

and if you see a big "R"....push the driver down a flight of stairs.

because the car costs more than my house?

edit: R = motorcycle...so BMW > *?

i doesn't stand for gasoline.

It stands for fuel injected, rather than carburated.

Haha. Nice. Thanks

cic = Cabrio

M = M-Technic (not sure if the M actually stands for anything like AMG does?)

LE = Not available in North American, but a super stretch of the 7 series

S = Used to stand for the highest sport model (level 3, where everything is sport tuned). But the exact use got lost in translation since every e36 driver slapped the badge on there car.

P = Protection, light body armour (never badged on the car though)

Ti = Not sure if the T was for shortwheelbase or hatback. Anyone know?
