I need some help deciphering the BMW lettering system:

You've got F, K, and R prefixes, and GS, LT, CL, RT, GT, ST, S, RS, CS and R endings.

Can anybody clue me in on what they mean? Thanks.

Andrew

F - Funduro
K - Kompakt (ref. Drive train, all current 3 and 4 cyl bmw)
R - Rad (Cycle, lit. wheel)

GS - Gelandestrasse (trail and street)
LT - Luxustouring (or Light Truck

)
CL - Cruiser Lux.
C - Cruiser
RT - Road Touring
GT - Gran Turismo
ST - Sport Touring (or Strasse on the f650st)
S - Sport
RS - Renn Sport (racing Sport)
CS - Classic Sport (or Scarver for f650cs)
R - Roadster

OK?
