Question

and on BMW cars too...theres the 328i, n the 325i. they both look the same..whats the difference? same thing with the 5 series...

so what i am asking is that what do the numbers mean on the mercedes cars, and the BMW cars?

Answer 1

On Mercedes and BMW cars, the numbers generally indicate the size of the engine displacement. For example, a BMW 325i, would be a 3-series BMW with a 2.5 liter engine and fuel injection. BMW especially has been deviating from this a bit in recent years, so it isn't always completely accurate, but still a good indication of the engine size.

So, the Mercedes G-55 and G-550 both have 5.5 liter engines. The G-55 is the version made by the Mercedes tuner company AMG. Whenever you see a Mercedes with a two-digit number, chances are pretty good it is a performance-tuned model by AMG.

Answer 2

The higher the numbers, the bigger engine & horsepower.

Answer 3

They usually describe the approximate size of the engine, in liters.

In Mercedes, a G55 has a 5.5 liter engine. An M350 has a 3.5 liter engine. If it's a two-digit number, like 55, then it's usually a tuned engine.

In BMWs, the first number corresponds to the series, where 3, 5 and 7 are usually sedans, but can also exist as coupes, and a 6 is always a coupe. The last two digits of the number again shows the size of the engine. 28 means a 2.8 liter engine, the 25 means a 2.5 liter engine. The i stands for "injection" and implies a standard Otto motor gasoline engine, not a diesel.

Answer 4

328 3 series car 2.8 engine

325 3 series car 2.5 engine........

Answer 5

Those are just subseries numbers.....the higher the more luxurious and expensive the vehicle..

They are just model number.....and really mean nothing...unless you mean the letters....which can designate a turbo or awd....

In some cars....the subseries number designates the size of the engine....like the bmw...

Answer 6

its the litre of the engines. on the g-55 and g-550 the g-55 is the AMG so it is 5.5 litre engine. the g-550 has a 5.0 litre engine. basically the same for the BMW cars too.

Answer 7

For BMW.

3 in 328 is for BMW 3 series. The 3 series is BMW's compact sporty luxury sedan.

The 5 series is the midsized luxury sedan.

The 7 series is the high luxury large sedan.

The 28 in 328 means it has a 2.8 liter engine.

335i=3.5L engine

330xi=3.0L engine and AWD.

Same with Mercedes and Lexus.

Mercedes C240

C is for C class, which is their compact luxury sedan like the BMW 3 series. 240 is for 2.4L engine.

G55 is 5.5 Liter engine. AMG

The sport version of Mercedes cars are called AMG and they usually use 2 numbers instead of 3 numbers.

G550 is 5.5L engine normal Mercedes.

The AMG version is probably supercharged.

Lexus IS250.

Lexus IS series is like the 3 series and C class.

250 is 2.5L engine.
