Are these available yet?

Most petrol engines are also carried over. The 535i (not for EU) figures will be similar or very close to those of the E90 with same engine.
So basically - Fuel consumption figures are same as before except 535d which may see a very minor improvement.

Diesel engines 530d & 520d are carried over without change (N52 engines) - the 535d may be upgarded to the Mag Alloy block used in the N52 530d engine.

The 530i is boosted from 190kW to 200kW (272BHP) & changes to 520d(120->130kw), 525d (130->145kW) in September 2007. 523i growing from 130 to 140kW and a 520i later also at 120kW. Oh and a US 528i at 172kW.
However, I was wondering whether there are new 0-100km/h acceleration figures and new consumption figures.
I guess because all the engine changes are just tweaks, nothing of significance in performance and economy will leap out.
Roll on the F10!!

You are thinking of the 3.0l N52 and by th way the crank case is made from magnesium and aluminium.
And if you are interested, the 335i engine is quite different from the N52 Mag/Al and is based on a slightly older heavier design (the M54 aluminium with cast iron)
Secondly, as far as I know the N52 engine refers to the lastest naturally aspirated inline-6 petrol engines (2.5 and 3.0)
The 335i is called the N54
I think the 535d, 530d and 535d diesels are M57 variants
And the 520d engine is the M47
Each engine code is also followed by other letters to indicate things like capacity, fuel type etc.

First off, the 335d/FL 535d (new twin turbo 3.0 diesel) doesn't have a Mag Alloy block - it is all aluminium.

Doubtless it will be updated in due course.

Didn't I see the 530d receives 235bhp (from 231bhp)?

Thanks for posting the reference information Nick.
Does anyone else think BMW made a little mistake in the design of the new engine codes? They're using a letter "O" and the number "0" as available codes for slot #6, power output class. Can you imagine how many people/technicians, etc. are going to mix that up? It makes no sense...
