On all BMWs if you look in the door jam sticker that contains the VIN number it will say something such as 530iA but it will say on the back only 530i. A = automatic transmission. The same car with a manual transmission will say 530iM. Essentially, the terms are interchangeable but saying 530iA gives you more detail.
