    bmw....

    Hey smart people out there... I know a lot about muscle cars and compact sports and sports in general but I have a question about the letters after the numbers on the cars. What do the X, the I and the C mean?

    bimmers

    i means injection, which all BMWs have,
    c does mean coupe
    x means all wheel drive
    L (as in 745Li) means long - extended wheelbase/ large rear doors
    often you will hear of a cic meaning coupe convertible
    CSL means coupe sports lightweight
    and so on
    It is'nt hard to make full thoughts, just as it is'nt hard to spell full words. It is uncommon to see either on the internet.

    LOL WTH R U talking about... a mixture of every thing


    there isnt the best to have .... you can t realy say that..... It all depends on what you want if you want luxury go with the 7 you want fast cars go with the C or CSL{i prefer the CSL as you just read it is more sporty}and if you want an all wheel drive go with the X..

    SO basicly it s all about what you prefer to have

    I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet...

    The X which stands for AWD is supposed to represent the four points of power (being all 4 wheels, naturally ). It seems to me that Infiniti has "borrowed" this letter to represent the same thing, a la G35x.

    If only the "GTR" badge was slightly more common amongst the bavarian hotrods.

    BMW will be slain by the motorspot world if they ever think of 4 liter V8's again.
