I wasn't aware of a 520i for MY2008. I thought the 2008 523i replaced the 2007 520i model. I pulled my information from bmw.co.uk which lists all engines available from bmw and they don't have a 520i for MY2008. Am I missing something?

Great ipp,
Love the 149 g/km for CO2 emissions for the 520dA
Yes www.bmw.de is of course the best resource but they do not have the engine codes there.
After asking, I today received interesting info from BMW Group Finland.
BMW E60 European engine codes for new the LCI L6 engines are:
523i N52B25, starting from 03/07 N53B25U0 (U - null)
525i N52B25, starting from 03/07 N53B30U0 (U - null)
530i N52B30, starting from 03/07 N53B30O0 (O - null)
Note that the 0 (nulls) and O's and U's vary!
For the 520d engine code has changed with the new MY ?08 in September
520d M47D20, starting from 09/07 N47D20O0 (O - null)
____________________________________
This from not official BMW sourses:
The 520i MY '08 engine is a N43B20O0 (0 -null)
A bit old info but from there the diesel codes can also be found.

I will eventually -- I hope to get to the interior section by the end of this month. I've got way too much other more pressing stuff to do before then. I got stuck with jury duty this week. I went on Monday and got assigned to a case so it's been all week.. I'll post a message about the interior in a bit!
So, there is infact a 520i! Does anyone have this model and can take a picture of the engine for me?

Hrmm yeah, it looks a bit dark. Whenever you can take one during the nice day time would be perfect -- no rush at all. Thanks!
