The question is what is the "t" for in this instance as it's clearly not "Touring". |

 Or, it could be they were trying to infuse it with some history using the "touring international" commonly referred to on the 2002ti |

But, yes, the "ti" was for "touring international" then the second "i" was for injection (again). |

 BTW, wtf does "touring" mean in regard to vehicles anyway? "Car you might want to take on a trip"?  BMW uses it primarily for its wagons, but also the occasional hatch. Other manufactures use it for other things (but I'm currently drawing blank and can't remember the examples that I know exist.  ops: ) |
