At least it's obvious when it's a real M-Car, since it's just the M and the number...oh wait, some say the OG M2 isn't a real M-Car. Never mind. Carry on.

Well, I consider the OG M2 a real M car!!

In a way it makes sense, in a sad way, since the model number hasn’t denoted the displacement in a loooong time. I keep opening the hood on my 440i expecting to see a V8 with 4.0 liters…
Congrats BMW you have officially killed off your model nomenclature. Next stop GM. Introducing the new BMW xmtlz.

It was kind of sad when the motors stopped matching the number designation. But, I think (I’m not certain) that was happening in Europe with the lower level models before it started happening in the U.S. I don’t think the 316 and 318 each had a 1.6 and a 1.8, did they?
