Re[2]: When does the "s" stand for "sport"?

     OK, my curiosity is peaked.  what do the letters in 635CSi mean?
     Coupe, Sport, Injected?  Also, I have been assuming for some time now 
     that the last two numbers in the model designation e.g. 325 750 etc. 
     refer to the engine displacement in litres/10: 325 = 2.5l 635 = 3.5l 
     and so on.  Is this right or just a neat coincidence?

Actually, the latest Autoweek reports that the 2-door E46 will be 
designated Ci, as in 328 Ci.
