What do the letters after the BMW model numbers stand for?

I know that the series' are 3, 5, 6, and 7. and the numbers after that are the engine size, and i is for injection, but i recently found a car that was a 325ti would that be t for turbo?What do the letters after the BMW model numbers stand for?No



A 325ti s a 3-series compact



A t after the numbers can sometimes mean Turbo, but only for diesels. You can get td and tds. td is a turbo diesel whereas tds refers to turbo diesels with intercoolers.



T can also sometimes mean Touring, or Estate/Stationwagon

A is Automatic

D is Diesel

i is fuel injection

S is Sport

X is 4 wheel drive

L is Limousine or Long Wheel Base

M is Motorsport



You can get combinations of lots of these such as M635CSi
