In only its third model year the latest 5 Series enters the 2006 model year with BMW's newest generation of inline 6-cylinder engines, available all-wheel drive and the return of the 5 Series Sports Wagon. The 5 Series shares its two 3-liter engines with the new 3 Series. The 525i/xi go from 184 to 215 horsepower while the 530i/xi go from 225 to 255 hp. All models are offered with a 6-speed manual transmission with an available 6-speed STEPTRONIC automatic. The 530i is also available with a 6-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox.

The new 523 is a detuned 2.5 litre in the UK
The new 525 is a 2.5 litre in the UK
The new 530 is a 3.0 litre in the UK

Yet someone said the US 525 is a detuned 3.0 litre, True or false?
