209 LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (25%) 25% is the percentage of slip that the differential has. That is, when there is a situation where one wheel is slipping, 25% of the available torque is applied to the non-slipping wheel. I believe etas came with 2.93 rear diffs. That is your ratio.

300 ZENTRALVERRIEGELUNG ELEKTRISCH = Electric Central Locking system.

It means you have a 325es - basically it is telling you it is the sport package.

I believe that is AUSSENSP = aussenspiegel = exterior mirrors, probably power, and I can't even tell what the heck those abbreviations are for.
