AFAIK, the model designation no longer reflects displacement/engine in the car, it's just used for marketing now. I think there was an article posted here explaining that a while back.

model designation reflects power instead of displacement now i think.

28 doesn't have to actually match the HP. its to tell people that this 3er has more power than a 325 or 320. if bmw is to put 320i on a 328 or 325 or 320 (all these have the same displacement a 2.0l Turbocharged engine) people aren't going to know what power the 3er have. in my country you can order 320, 325, 328 (i think), 335. it would be a little confusing don't you think?

While you reflect on that...
...IŽll reflect on how long BMW will go on naming their cars with an "i"...would think every car in the damn world was injected by now, so maybe they will go back to carburetors, and mame their cars 328cb or something like that, lol...
