They forgot some other nomenclature:

L = long wheel base
ActiveHybrid = sort of an 'i' hybrid but on normal cars
d = diesel
Z=roadster
s (as in sDrive) = rear wheel drive for X cars
with Range Extender = larger i3 battery

None of these are new to the BMW lexicon, nor have they recently changed. I think that's what the clever blurb is hinting at.

The sDrive is relatively new.

As mentioned in the Reddit comment thread, BMW can't hold a candle to Mercedes as far as confusion goes.

Range Extender = one cylinder motorcycle engine in the right rear trunk to charge the battery on the go(on the i3). NOT a bigger battery.
