Guys, is the Australian E60 530i the same specs as the European E60's, or the US spec E60's?

Can someone please clarify for me?

I thought the 2005 model E60's had the M54B30 motors, but it turns out my car has the N52 motor as reported by the Diagnostic Report (printed out by BMW Service Centre).

I'm confused!

Thanks for confirming.

So according to Wikipedia, the Euro spec N52 motors have 200 kW (272 PS,268 hp) @ 6700 rpm and 320 N?m @ 2750 rpm.

No bad at all!
