BMW has been using the *40i designation for the higher output 3L TwinPower I6's for a while now. First there was the 740i and, more recently, the 640i.

The sketchy one is *50. In gasoline form (50i) it is a V8, while in diesel form (50d) it refers to an I6. Personally I think they should have went with 45i for the diesel, but I didn't get a vote.
