Calling all MY2008 Owners -- I need pictures of your engines for our Engines page! Now that I have finished updating all the specs, I need to fill in the pictures. I need photo's in atleast 800x600 resolution in an angle similar to the one posted below.

Our Engines Page: http://www.e60.net/information/options/engines/

I have the 540, 550, and M5 pictures since those engines haven't changed for MY2008 however all other engines have changed so I need new pictures of almost all of them:

520i: NEEDED!
520d: have it
523i: have it
525i: NEEDED!
525d: have it
528i: have it
530i: have it
530d: have it
535i: have it
535d: have it
540i: have it
550i: have it
M5: have it

I also need the torque curves/power output graphs for the new 520d, 528i, and 535i. If anyone has run across them please let me know. I have all the rest posted already. Please post your pictures as a reply to this thread.

Thank you for your help!!

Again, I need MY2008 engine pictures from the missing models above to have a similiar angle as this one:

That's perfect!! I have posted it on the 530i page:
http://www.e60.net/information/optio...s/my2008_530i/
Thank you!!

Come to think of it I should be able to get the U.S. 528i and 535i engine pictures when I go in for my service appointment next week on the 15th.

In any event, many more engine pictures are still needed per my original post. I appreciate all your help guys!!

I agree, the engines really look the same on the outside but I wanted to find new engine pictures. We keep a catalog of all old engine specs and pictures so I didn't want to re-use one of the old ones so each engine specification has it's own unique picture.

Great Mark,

This is what we forum members dig!

It will take some while for us to gather all facts and pics, but I hope the job will be done.

I'd also like to point out, that it would be nice to have pics of cars that are non-sports...


Can only give you the LCI EU MY '08 520d specs that are,
177 hp at 4000 rpm and 350 Nm at 1750 rpm.
Based on www.bmw.de

The torque curve I would love to see!
