It does NOT mean "America" for several reasons:
1. If you look at the sticker, it says something like "535i/A US" The US obviously stand for United States. If the A stood for "America" it would be quite redundant.
2. "America" would be a little vague, dontcha think? Most Americans tend to think the US is the only "America," without regard to South America, Central America, etc., all places where BMW sells car.
BMW used the same sticker for both sticks and automatics. That is why the "slash" is betwen the "i" and the "A." It means the sticker applies to both sticks and automatics.
Would you please look in your door jam and tell me if your car says 5xxi/A. I have been looking for a 535 5-speed. I found one but it says 535is/535i/A on the info on the driver side door jam. I assume the A to mean that it was an automatic, but is a 5-speed. I also drove a 535i 5-speed that had the A in the jam and a e34 525i 5-speed that had the A in the door jam. Please help and thanks in advance.
