BMW nomenclature
BMW vehicles follow a certain nomenclature; usually a 3 digit number is followed by 1 or 2 letters. The first number represents the series number. The next two numbers traditionally represent the engine displacement in cubic centimeters divided by 100. A similar nomenclature is used by BMW Motorrad for their motorcycles.
The system of letters can be used in combination, and is as follows:
* A = automatic transmission
* C = coupé, last used on the BMW E46 and the BMW E63 (dropped after 2005 model year)
* c = cabriolet
* d = diesel
* e = eta (efficient economy, from the Greek letter 'η')
* g = compressed natural gas/CNG
* h = hydrogen
* i = fuel-injected
* L = long wheelbase
* s = sport, also means "2 dr" on E36 model
* sDrive = rear wheel drive
* T = touring (wagon/estate)
* Ti = hatchback for the BMW 3 Series hatchback
* x / xDrive = BMW xDrive all wheel drive
historic nomenclature indicating "td" refers to "Turbo Diesel", not a diesel hatchback or touring model (524td, 525td)
typically includes sport seats, spoiler, aerodynamic body kit, upgraded wheels, etc.
For example, the BMW 760iL is a fuel-injected 7 Series with a long wheelbase and 6.0 liters of displacement. This badge was used for successive generations, E65 and F01.
When 'L' supersedes the series number (e.g. L6, L7, etc.) it identifies the vehicle as a special luxury variant, featuring extended leather and special interior appointments. The L7 is based on the E23 and E38, and the L6 is based
