The “i” means injection in reference to the fuel intake method. As Raimon, states, BMW no longer make traditionally aspirated engines
-
The i stands for fuel injected I believe, but if there is only an i at the end that means it is a sedan (330i, 525i). Coupes have a C and Convertibles have a C too (330Ci). SUVs and AWD equipped models have an X somewhere in their model name. (X3, 330Xi)
-
i = injector (engine intakes the petrol through an injector and not a carburator)
d = diesel (vehicle uses diesel, not petrol)
X = SUV or AWD (All wheel drive, offroad capabilities, large e.g. X5)
c = Coupe / Convertable (coupe : 2 door four seater hard top; convertable ; convertable)
M = Motorsport (super powerful engine, extreme acceleration, e.g M4)
BMW = Bavarische MotorenWerke [Bavarian Motor Works]

it doesnt mean anything these days, but it is used to denote that the engine is of the petrol variety , 325i uses petrol, 325d uses diesel(use to be (tdi) … 325Ci is used to denote coupes and convertables and the Li shows long wheel base such as the 760Li….

Injected.
Carbureted cars (not made anymore by BMW) did not have the “I”
-
I = regular wheelbase sedan. IL = long wheelbase sedan. ci = coupe. although it may not say it, cic is widely known to be the convertible.
