What does OL stand for in BMW type?

[raymondtrueman]

I recently did a VIN decode on my BMW and it came back as BMW 320d OL (EUR)

I am interested to know what the "OL" means? Is it the line type of the car? I want to sell it and want to provide an accurate description to the buyer

This might help

although it only speaks to the engine and not the whole car.

Thanks. It does give me information about the engine. But I still want to know what OL stands for. I believe it can be something like "Executive Line" or "Sports Line" but I can be wrong

It seems to me that OL means it is a like a discount or a promo you encash on a car, as far as some of the European results I've seen on google. Maybe a specific dealer car, generally not sold to the general public.. This is the best I came up with.
"Notes on using OL codes:

Dealer participation varies. Non-participating dealers may apply an equivalent discount when you mention the OL code. It’s subject to dealer discretion and we aren’t sure how or when OL codes are being generated
OL codes can be used on new vehicles. Some dealers may not accept them on loaners
Some dealers will apply $500 or $1,000 as dealer discount when you mention the OL code
I’m hearing OL codes in most cases can’t be stacked with USAA or Fleet, but this isn’t guaranteed
In some cases, dealers will only offer $500 of the $1,000 (we’re hearing that $500 of the code is a BMW NA rebate and the other $500 comes as a dealer discount). Per @BMW_Dave, OL codes must be provided so the dealer can look them up in their system to confirm validity and apply the $500 BMW NA contribution."

Thanks, I also found the OL code discount program via google. But no I dont think it is that. It is part of the description of the model
"BMW 320d OL (EUR)"

The OL discount code program is a USA-only discount program and not related to this car and the "OL" in the description. This car was bought in South Africa and manufactured in Europe
