Hi All,

I am glad to be on board of this forum. I am thinking of buying a late model 09 E60 520D. Just wondering this model does have Brake energy regerneration & Air vent control?.

One of the sales reps told me that they both available on the NON M sport package.

Anyone can confirm this?. I can't seem to find any information about this.

Cheers,

Yes it will have both. All cars built from March 07 have efficient dynamics although the 520d engine didn't get upgraded to the later unit until Sept of that year. SE models have brake cooling flaps and engine radiator grills to warm the car up quicker, neither of these were fitted to M-Sport models though.

 

Hi Dandle,

Thansk for the reply. You saying 520d didn't get the upgrade until Sept 07?. What are the SE models?

Cheers,

No it got the LCI refresh which introduced ED the same time as the rest of the range. The 520d engine was upgraded in Sept though to a more powerfull unit.

There are three versions of the E60, the SE which is more of a cruising comfortable car (looks a bit boring has no body kit or sports seats etc), the M-Sport which is for the more sporting driver and looks better IMO and finally the monster that I's the M5.

 

Thanks, the efficent dynamics in E60 range is same as the F10 models?. Apart from the display in the instrument cluster. Or are there any other updates to the F10

Cheers,

 

Just as a side note, the engine flaps in the grill were on the UK SE models from start of production, my 2003 530d SE had them.

 

Its very similar to the F10s ED except they have now included stop/start on the manual 4cyl models which wasn't available on the E60 due to the technology in the car being to old.

 

Does the E60 LCI have electric steering box? like 3-series LCI?
