> bmw 325. i dont know where you keep getting that 6 from…

because i’m putting a 2.6 liter in it instead of the stock 2.5 liter.

325e:  
3 = 3 series.  
25 = 2.5 liter (actually it was a 2.7 liter, but we’ll ignore that)  
e = efficiency

326rb  
3 = 3 series.  
25 = 2.6 liter  
rb = rb series engine.

Christ.
