It's IMO extremely gay when it was explained to me, so it might not be 100% accurate cause lack of attention span.
BMW has for the most part created N/A engines.
From my understanding, it has to do with how much torque (I'm pretty sure) should (for proper words) to be generated for a given displacement engine.
E46 325 - 2.5L 175 lbs-ft
E90 325 - 3.0L 185 lbs-ft => 'detuned 3.0L'
E90 330 - 3.0L 220 lbs-ft
E46 M3 - 3.2L 262 lbs-ft => considered a 332
E91?335 - 3.0L 300 lbs-ft => generating due to turbo but if BMW created a 3.5L they would expect it to create ~300 lbs-ft N/A.
You can sorta see what I mean, and that calculation changes as new technologies evolve.
When it was trying to be explained to me, I just said 'F it, this is why I drive an Audi it makes more sense'
