the new 3.0 engine, code name R6 will go into the 530i some time next year.? It will have 258bhp and it was introduced in the 630i in September.? It will next go into the E90 330i and then the 530i.? Im waiting for it along with the M-Sport pkg in the US, probably a MY06 build

Did anyone else read in a magazine, (I can't remember which), that the 5 would eventually get a 3.5 litre engine thus becoming a 535i? Or maybe this R6 is the result of that rumor?

I think thats it... I saw this at roadfly. Dealers now have a part number for the 535 badge... NO not a 535d badge but a 535!

I have seen this on RF also and questioned the poster...what I wonder is if the badge is just the old 535i badge?
