Yes, not to mention the rest of the entire current and recent past BMW engine lineup for that matter, including the N51, N52, N53, N54, N55, N62, N63. So, right, I wasn't really talking about the displacement matching the model name (as there's no hope of that happening - plus I don't really care
).
Instead I was referring to the fact that while the 3.0L N52 (or N51/N3) currently gets different badges (28i and 30i in the US, and 25i too still in some countries), it remains unclear whether then N20, and specifically the N20B20, will be handled the same way.
Personally, I think for simplicity's sake, it would be nice to see this:
N20B20 = 30i
N55B30 = 40i
N63B44 = 50i
N74B60 = 60i (hey whaddya know - it matches up!
)
Granted I am completely ignoring the diesel range, and the upcoming 1.6L I4 turbo and 1.xL I3 engine range (mainly because we don't get those in the US, except a couple I6 diesels).
