Agree number game is getting ridiculous. Apparently Mercedes increased their numbers because owners that were leasing didn't like that the numbers on the back of their cars were going down as turbocharging became widely adopted. Back in the day I got a F10 535i loaner and someone asked me how I liked the 3.5L V6 in the car 🤦 I had so much explaining to do for them.
