History check.
318 came with 1.9 litres sometimes
320 came with 2.0 and 2.2 litres at different times
323 came with 2.5 litres
325 came with everything, from 2.5 to 2.7 to 3.0 litres, possibly more
28 has meant 2.8 litres, 3.0 litres detuned, or 2.0 litres turbocharged
35 has meant 3.5 litres, and 3.0 litres turbocharged
40 has meant 4.0 litres, 4.4 litres, and 3.0 litres turbocharged
It has been going on since the mid 1970s, when BMW brought out the first 3 series to replace the 2002.
50 is just the latest in a long line of 'not quite equal to displacement' as compared to actual displacement
