OMG the side amber reflector got to go no way.
Smallest engine is 528i so is that to say no more 523i and 525i. Thats good then my car can still keep a good price in HK.
Top speed only 150mph for all engines

What fascinates me though is that BMW still using the old 3.0 litre engine with 231 BHP... Gone 2,5 years ago in Europe!

Probably has something to do with emissions, and also that US gasoline is not as highly refined (apparently) as gasoline sold in Europe.

Actually, they are not - the 528i's 3.0L six is a different unit from the old-engine (M54TUB30) 530i.

I think the brochure is for US spec E60. Euro spec will get different designation and so I think we will still get the 523 or 525 here in HK because of the size of engines affect the amount of registration we pay every year.
