But what does it mean when you say for example 525xi?
Is it an american thing? Ive only ever came across a simple 'i' before.

Krozi beat me to it.....xi was term for all-wheel drive. BMW has gone back to using just "i" now with x-drive as an option, with the name plate on the front fender that says x-Drive.

I think Xi has been around for the same time as the E60 itself.
