they've been doing it for awhile and it makes sense. prob just the wording of "virtual displacement" tickled you in the right places and got you giggling!

Calling a 3.0L turbo a "335" can kinda sorta make sense in that regard. The turbos get you that, uhhh, extra 0.5L of "virtual displacement."
But then what about the 328? By that designation it sounds like "negative virtual displacement" and it's essentially a crippled engine. Why not have a 330i and 335i instead? It no make sense!!
