What does the 'i' at the back of BMW stand for?

BMW's 'i' refers to the gasoline direct injection engine, which is BMW's unique fuel injection technology. It can also be said that BMW 'i' represents the standard wheelbase model. The length of the wheelbase mainly affects the comfort and operational stability of the vehicle. Generally speaking, the higher the vehicle class, the longer the wheelbase will be. A longer wheelbase not only improves straight-line cruising stability but also reduces steering agility and increases the turning radius. The BMW xDrive25i has a body size of 4717 mm in length, 1891 mm in width, and 1689 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2864 mm. The BMW xDrive25i features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout with an on-demand all-wheel-drive system. The front suspension is a double-joint spring strut type, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
