is = " " sport

ic = ' " cabriolet

ci = later version of the above
ti = small as ****
iT = fuel injected touring
cs = club sport i think?

Yeah the old 3.0, 3.2 and 3.5 also had the letters CSL in their model name. Same principle as the M3 CSL: BMW stripped everything out and you paid twice as much!

The last 'i' is for injection as in tourismo international(sic) injection.
