Thanks for all the replies.

Does anyone know if the 525i will actually have the same 3.0l engine as the 530i, just somehow detuned?
My understanding is that the 2.5l engine is based on the 3.0l but is 2.5l in capacity. The 523 uses a 'detuned' 2.5l. (I don't think the 523 will make it to the US)

As far as I know, the diesels won't be upgraded in western europe until fall 2005 in the earliest.
Not too bad for us. Our 535d comes next week!

I was shocked to see a 2006 530Xi Touring at the Cleveland Auto show.
It had the new R6 motor , no price tag, but I guess it might be available sooner then later.

Those Touring's look very sleek.
Looked like new wheels for 2006.
The rear gate had power assist close, and nice compartment storage.
