Hi!
I m just wondering if some of you is thinking about the the new 525d and 197HP engine. I think that is a good choice, better than the 520d. This new car, with a 3 l. engine, appears not to be as turbo-dependent as others like 520d...
Somebody have tested this new engine?
thanks!

The 520d is relaunched with a 177PS/174HP/130kW engine in September.
The 525d is 197PS/194HP/145kW. This is a detuned 3 litre straight 6.

My Ride: F11 520d Touring Imperial Blue, sports automatic, VDC, black leather sports seats, M Sport steering wheel, HiFi Professional, 18" 328 wheels, Xenon, PCD, electrical tow hitch etc...
E87 120dM -10, Titanium silver, xenon, PDC, Hifi, 18" wheels etc.
E87 120d M sport- 08, Le Mans blue, xenon, PDC, Hifi, 18" wheels etc.
Sold: BMW 525dT Deep sea blue, xenon, PDC, leather, Hifi, USB etc.
I have a 525dT on order. I test drove the 520d and the old 525d and wanted the 6 cylinder because of the even better power and smothness. I also didn't want to order the 520d now as it is being upgraded in September. When I realised that the new 525d is a new 3 liter engine the choice was easy. If it is just slightly better than the old 525d I will be satisfied.

My Ride: E60 525d M-Sport Saloon M57N2 3.0d LCI
EXTERIOR: Jet Black, ///M-Aerodynamic Bodystyling, ///M-Rear Spoiler, De-badged, Gradual Tint Windscreen, ///M-Double Spoke 172M 19" Alloy Wheels (with non-run flats & space saver spare wheel) & ///M-Sports Suspension;
INTERIOR: ///M-Steering Wheel, Black Dakota Leather Heated Sports Seats with Electric Lumbar Supports, Brushed Aluminium Interior Trim & Anthracite Headlining.
Would be interested to hear any comments from anyone who may have driven this model (525d LCI) with the 'detuned' 3.0L straight six. I have one on order (M Sport version) due W/C 23rd April.
I test drove the 530d which I presume will have the same engine characteristics albeit a little more powerful - that was certainly impressive.
