The 520d is more of a high performance model, so like the M3 CSL and other lightweight racing models, it is not weighed down with unnecessary extra options / weight.

What's that about? The one they are using (555d, 530d & ...) now is just a couple of months old.

Of the info I have recieved, the Sport Auto Trans is not the same as the new 6-gear autotrans in all
E60's LCI's except the 520d.

From what I know it's an updated updated steptronic... Paddles + faster hydraulics?
If anyone can confirm otherwise?

This appears to be a bit of a mystery... Rumours of VW style DSG boxes (dual-clutch) doesn't seem realistic.
