Damn, about time BMW got their act together with their naming system. It's been a hot mess, with all these confusing designations.

Well, BMW is at it again - stupid naming schemes. In the past the last two numbers represented the engine displacement (or a bit of a left over from the previous generation). Seeing as a 340 should be a 4.0 engine and knowing that BMW tops out at 3.0 today, the V8 is used only in the 6, 7 and 8 series.
Shrinkflation is the definition of the day kids.
