"L" stands for "lang", the German word for "long"
"i" stands for injection, an oxymoron since practically all BMWs have fuel injection.

Sorry i cut this directly from the German website but here is the translation you're looking for. LI deals exclusively with the engine, and has nothing to do with the length.
Die Passion für Leistung.
Wie gut ein Motor wirklich ist, lässt sich erst auf der Straße ermessen. Mit kraftvollem Antritt, entschlossenem Durchzug und äußerst souveräner Laufkultur belegen die BMW 7er Triebwerke ihre Ausnahmestellung mit jedem gefahrenen Kilometer neu. Alle fünf Acht- und Sechszylinder-Aggregate wurden neu entwickelt. Den BMW V12 im 760i/Li macht seine überragende Laufkultur weiterhin zum Referenztriebwerk für leidenschaftliche Freude am Fahren.
So LI stands for Injektiv Laufkulture which is thier way of explaning the smooth power of the motor. It seems to only be available in the 760. At least here in Germany. Hope that helped.

It means Long Wheelbase since the chassis is longer than the regular 745 I's.
