Why the hell are there so damn many different versions? I mean, there are 310's, 316's, 318's, 323's, 325's, 328's, 320's(?), I mean, how many goddamn versions are there? and why so many versions? Does a higher number mean more luxary? Whats up?

Um you are confused. Since we got that out of the way. Every car has lot of different engines over the time. For e.g: Like E36 for US had to bump the 325i to 328i due to OBDII(emissions). 316i was too small for US, so we got the 318. 310 Never made it here, since it is slow and prefferd by Europeans due to thier expensive gas. 323i is just a 325i, but in E46 or very late E36 form. That was when BMW was reworking thier model numbers. There are also deisel engine for the 3 series, which I am going to skip on.

Well, there is more than one person in the world buying 3 series. Different markets of the world want differnt types of cars. Also, the last 2 numbers represent displacement, i.e. 325i=3 series 2.5L
Not exactly true? What about the 325e = 2.7 liters? [/b][/quote]
Only car the displacement method did not apply too is the Eta models.
