Hi
Email states " a new 218 hp inline 6 3.0L for the 525, a new 258hp inline 6 3.0L for the 530, and a 4.5L V8."?
Detuned rumor sounds about right.

I've been a BMW owner for a while and have owned a few more.... I've learned to not to believe in anything until you see it w/ your own eyes. Everything else is just a rumor...
cheers,

(Dinan, anyone?)
The reason that was given by Jon Shafer on Bimmerfest was that BMW could not get the engines certified for emissions here in the U.S. without raising the displacement. The rest of the world will get the 2.5 liter with the same (supposedly) hp & torque rating.

The NA dealers are getting all the wrong info probably. Jeez.
Only the NA dealers are tlaking about:
550i coming THIS April
3.0L 530i.
I think BMWAG needs to resolve this. Probably a communications issue or something.
What's Dinan by the way?

The original post for an April 550i came from Canada, not the US, right?
