Not as much as it used to be. on the 530d there is a mere 6 gr/km between manual and auto (170/176) making it 1% difference on the bik taxation.

Indeed and the performance differential is almost zero too. Actually, it's probably easier to consistently extract from an automatic... However, I understand those who want the 'ultimate' control.

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.

BMW MY '08, that is from Sept. '08 production.

New auto gearbox also and more.
