There have always been some strange things about car names. Some still do not distinguish the codes next to the Audi models and other acronyms are not clear either. However, it had always been pretty clear that petrol BMWs have an "i" after their number. And we speak in the past tense because, although it has been this way for around half a century, this could be about to change. The Germans could eliminate that letter and it has to do with electric ones.

 

 

The "i" from previous times had referred to injection, to gasoline injection. Although BMW these days has it more linked to electrification since the launch of its BMW i3 a decade ago. After that model, many more have arrived, they will continue to do so and the brand does not want the end customer to have doubts with its nomenclature. It seems that the electric ones have won the war and they will keep the "i", while the combustion ones lose it.
