As I said I really like it but the one thing I don't get...

In USA the 320d has to be called the 328d because of the more numbers thing = better allegedly
Yet somehow in the same fashion a 3 cylinder engine is expected to sell well in a 100k plus car?

If it's not a problem why call the 320d a 328d? I'm not surprised there are so many V8 V10 M8 etc comments. BMW have fed this mentality with their naming structure. Perhaps the next gen 3 series should start with a 312d with top of the range fire breather called a 319is... No they wouldn't do it, so why think a real (!) number with the i8 doesn't matter to people now?
