Yeah, but it's changing a bit nowadays. Now, the denomination does not indicate the correct cubic capacity of the engine in all cases. For eg. currently the 3-series (in the US) is sold with two versions 328i & 335i but both of them have a 3.0 litre engine with different outputs! (Albeit the 335's engine also has 2 TC's!)
