60i = ~600hp

To be more precise, it is the engine that dictates the badge, not the actual vehicle power output. For current, non-legacy models (everything but the F2x 2 Series and F3x 4 Series, which will be replaced in 2020 and 2021):
28i - B48A20M1
M35l - B48A20T1
30i - B48B20O1
40i - B48B30M1
M40i - B48B30O1
50i - N63B44M3
M50i - N63B44T3
60i - N74B66TU2

The X5 and X7 also have three engines available (40i, 50i, M50i).
