My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
New R6 3.0 litre 275 hp / 315 Nm (530i) and the fine all new N54 turbo 306 hp / 400 Nm (535i).
These are EU figures.
Also I guess a new 528i could be found on the US meny.
I have not heard anything about a new V8...
Nice diesels for us EU people...

Expect a big big facelift around may 2007, bmw is really putting a lot of resources into this, expect the back light cluster to be altered, front lights, construction of the bumpers including the welding procedure (as in use the plastic application found in the e63), interior revisions including a change (possibly) in the instrument cluster

Forget about performance tuning. Can they make a more reliable e60 in 2007 production car?

They dyno'ed it at 275 hp to the rear wheel, which at the typical BMW drivetrain loss of 12% translates to 315hp.
