Difference between BMW IS and CI's

[Nav13]

with the newer bmw's the coupes have the IS model and the CI whats the different between the two?

[bobby_lu]

what generation are you refering to?

either way,

i = fuel injected (all)
s = sport
c = coupe
a = auto
C = cabrio

ex: 330 ciC is convertible, 530iA - sedan automatic

Long wheel base

If I had to guess I would say the L stands for extended or "long."

I'd be right too.

Wasn't there an 'e' for economy? (es vs is) ??

[Silence*]

Yeah, "e" stood for economy. The "e" came from "ETA" which in Greek ment economy.
