It makes more sense that Touring International.
No one would ever consider the 318ti a touring car whether national or international. A fantastic city or local runaround, no question, but not a long distance tourer. Of course it will do it. It will do all that is asked of it, but not at ease.
If you wanted a touring car you would surely buy the bigger, more solid, 5 or 7 series with a big lazy 6 cylinder. My 525i ('i' as in injection rather than 'i' as in international or 'e' as in economy) is a grand touring car, cruising all day long at 80 mph at 3000 rpm.
If we were talking about any other car and it was a 'ti' we would all say it is 'turbo injection' like that Land-Rover TDI: Turbo Diesel Injection. So, if we can accept that the 'i' stands for injection as 525i or TDI then 'touring injection' makes no sense at all but 'twin', as in twin cam, 'injection' does.
Come, come and join the dark side. |
