help needed very confused regarding engine cc

[ammar786]

hi people 
i am very confused regarding engine capacity of a e36 325tds 
now im lead to beleive these are 2.5 litre 6 cylinder engines 
however i am currently buying one and when i have done the hpi report or even a dvla vehicle check it is saying the car is 2000cc not 2500cc
can this be a mistake 
it clearly states on the log book 325 tds

According to wiki there is not 325td only a 324td.

First two numbers of the engine type number (machined area, low down on the LH side of the block) indicate the capacity. I.E 20 = 2 litre, 25 = 2.5 litre.
