I always thought the A should mean Automatic? However, BMW seems to have deleted this because their new cars are Steptronic.
Also, just a wild guess, but does SE stand for Sports Edition?

SE is stands for Special Equipment in the UK. Quite common on the main BMW models (1,3,5,7) to have SE but its not seen on the rear badges. In the past SE models like on the E46 3 Series would mean having Climate Control, Automatic Dipping rear mirrors, PDC, Alloy Wheels. It generally means you have a few extra optional equipment thrown in for a bit more money. All UK E60s are SE models anyway.
