a very quick x6

Nope, no Z4M planned

Take a drive around East London and Epping and you'd think every other Z4 was an M

lets not confuse things by discussing the 325i

I hate the 325i and wish it would go away

There would be more 330i if it were not for the 325i

Fr0dders · 30 May 2011 at 23:28

how does the 325i sell ?

Are they binning that as well as the 330i ?

Let's not say things which aren't true.

FWIW, BMW seems to have dropped the 35d in the new 6, 7 and X5.
The 306bhp diesel which is the 535d in the F10, F07 and X6 is the 40d in the 6, 7, and X5 :confused:

My old 320 M sport was a 2.2 if I recall?

2006 '06

My station car - an N plate 320 saloon, was a straight 6 1991cc.

I was never confused.

The E46 320i was a 2.2 litre M54.

I was never confused.

It seems you were

sigma · 30 May 2011 at 23:30

Isn't that a 2.2?

MacRS4 · 30 May 2011 at 23:30

I don't know what you mean

who says i wasn't referring purely to the models i mentioned - the 3 series and the Z4 rather than the entire BMW range

Me, because you clearly weren't.

Anyway, the BMW numbering system is logical and makes sense.

sigma · 30 May 2011 at 23:34

Where is the logic in the 5 being added on?

Assuming the x30 refers to the engine size that is.

Edit - just re-read your previous post on the matter, makes a little bit of sense.

Fr0dders · 30 May 2011 at 23:35

i wasn't actually. I had no intention of implying there are two 3.0 6 cylinder engines in the entire BMW range, you're just on one and nit picking on my wording.

sigma · 30 May 2011 at 23:36

Well you did kinda say:

But it doesn't really refer to engine size anymore, that's the point.
How could it, now that they've got about 5 different 3.0 petrols?

What would you call the 535i for example, the 530it?

Nit picking on your wording? Not really. I'm telling you you're completely wrong.
Even if you were just referring to the Z4 and 3 series (not sure why, but whatever), then there are still THREE petrol engines, let alone the diesels too. And yes, I'm including the x25i. Why wouldn't I?
Unless of course you were only refering to the x30i and x35i. Which you claim you were. Even though you said "the range".
Unless of course by "the range" you actually meant "BMW have two 6 cylinder engines in two cars with those two engines".
In which case, yes I apologise for "nit picking you wording" :rolleyes:

If i'd said entire range then maybe. But i didn't. Anyway nevermind, it really doesnt matter. 10 internet brownie points to mjt.

Maybe your source was wrong.
