On BMW it used to be like that but is no longer the case. A 325d is now a 2
liter engine with a larger turbo. A 340i has a 3 liter engine. And so on.
They've kept the model numbering but as smaller engines gained performance and
efficiency they've replaced smaller engines in larger named cars.

At least with BMW its consistent. A series number (3) followed by two numbers
where a larger number represents a larger engine (30/40), followed by X if it
has all wheel drive. M means performance. Series numbers increase with price.
Pretty easy. Hardest part is remembering which series numbers correspond to
which body styles.

Compare that to Merc. There's the C, E, and S-Class which come in Sedan,
Coupe, and Roadster variants and increase in price in that order. There's the
CLA which is their entry level Sedan, except they call it a Coupe. There's the
CLS Sedan which is more expensive than the E but cheaper than the S, and
again, is called a Coupe. Then you've got the Maybach name which means luxury,
