Hello "MCP, HVAC,GMAC & learning"

This is what I found on wikipedia (german):

D = Diesel (Dieselmotor)
E = Einspritzung (Ottomotor mit Benzineinspritzung)
K = Kompressor (SSK), bei neueren Modellen auch ausgeschrieben „Kompressor“
CDI = Common Rail Direct Injection (Dieselmotor mit Common-Rail-Einspritzung)
CGI = Stratified Charged Gasoline Injection (Ottomotor mit Direkteinspritzung)
NGT = Natural Gas Technology (Antrieb mit komprimiertem Erdgas (CNG))

C = Coupé
T = Transport & Touristik (Kombi)

L = verlängerter Radstand
S = S-Klasse (urspr. Sonder-Klasse)
SL = Sport-Leicht
SLK = Sport-Leicht-Kurz

I'll translate when I get back from work.

The number as you probably know originally represented the engine size (300 for 3.0 liters, 250 for 2.5 liters, etc), however, over here they didn't sell a 250D but a 300D 2.5 or a 300E 2.6, which really is a 260E.
