Does anyone know when the 520d will upgrade its engine to the new 177hp 2.0 that is currently fitted to the 3 series coupe 320d.
I am about to order a 520d M-sport and wonder if perhaps it would be prudent to wait for the engine change which is not only more powerful but the emissions are lower as well.
Anyone?

I understood it was likely to be September when the 3 series gets an update, (check the release date for the new Audi A4, BMW will no doubt update the 3 beforehand to compete). There is nothing to confirm this yet.

Based upon what I read, I would most certainly wait for the new engine to come. No doubt you'll be able to order it within the next couple of months if its going to be delivered from September onwards - your dealer should be able to answer this for you.
