Does anyone know what the Engine Code name for the 545 engine?

Like in the E39 M5 the engine code was S62 and in the E60 M5 its S65... whats the code name for the 545/745 engine?

I think all the engines have the extra codes at the end (can't verify it right now). Not sure what they designate but usually only the first three letters are used.

I think you're right but I don't have access to the codes from TIS right now. I provided them to lomag a while ago so he's got them somewhere...
