Yeah basically.  When you get up into the bigger engines like the 740i,
540i blah blah it's rounded.  It's actually something like a 4.4 V8. 
Same for the 750i, 850i.  5.4 V12.  It's accurate up to the 535i. 
Engines bigger than that are rounded.  I guess 544i doesn't sound good
to them.  Other exceptions are the 318i (it's a 1.9 liter) and the new
323i (2.5 liter).  But anyway, that's enough BMW talk for me.  I want an
M3!
