It stands for anonymous. When a BMW is finished on the assembly line a Quality inspector signs off on the vehicle. His signature is electronically lasered into the area under the battery. If the person does not believe the car meets all standards he refuses to sign off on it. So the A indicated anonymous ( no signature) and the vehicle is sold as a "second" or irregular. That saving should be passed on the the buyer.

Thank's Iceman for the list.
Some new things in it to me also, but I hate PDF's.
Something in a MS version maybe...?
