First off, welcome on board and enjoy the forums! 
In 2004 they changed from the E39 to the E60/E61. Your E61 525d will have 177bhp. Its the E39 525d that had 163bhp. I assume that's were your dealer got confused?
In Germany they introduced a 525d "Fleet" model in 2006, with a reduced power of 163bhp, which was targetted at company car fleets. These were not available in 2004.
p.s. Can I have an autograph?
