Surely it should be called the MZ40i?

Surely the letter M and the number 40 has no place in the model designation.
The model M40i just confuses people into thinking it is a 4 Litre engine.
Just call it a Z4 30i and be done with it.
If there is a 2 Litre engine call it a Z4 20i.
And if there are different levels of tune, stick something after these numbers.
Ive lost count the amount of people who have asked if our X6 is a 4 Litre engine.
