What car is currently equipped with a 6.2L V8? - they meant to say 6.3L?

The "63"-series motor (M156, IIRC), is actually 6.2L and not 6.3L. I think it's something about German law that requires them to round up engine displacement, so from the exact number of 6.208 to 6.3.

Maybe that's why they said 6.2L.
