The new F10 '12 BMW 525dA, developing 160 kW/218 hp at 4,400 rpm and with only 126 g CO2's!
Peak torque of 450 Newton metres (332 lb-ft) is now available between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm.

The BMW 525d will get a new four-cylinder diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. This 2.0-litre all-aluminium unit features Variable Twin Turbo two-stage turbocharging and common-rail diesel injection with piezoelectric injectors. The new unit features reduced weight and, thanks to the VNT technology of the small turbocharger, instantaneous response. The small turbocharger comes on stream at low engine speeds, while the contribution from the larger turbocharger varies in precise response to throttle requirements.

The extra agility and sprinting power is reflected in a further improvement in 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration times, which now stand at 7.0 seconds for the Sedan.

Modifications to the 3.0-litre engine in the new BMW 530d results in a 10 kW power increase to 190 kW/258 hp at 4,000 rpm. Equipped with VNT turbocharging and common-rail injection with solenoid injectors, its peak torque of 540 Newton metres (398 lb-ft) (560 Nm/413 lb-ft) with automatic transmission) is on stream between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm.
The BMW 530d Sedan and Touring models accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.1 and 6.2 seconds respectively (automatic: 6.0 and 6.1 seconds). The Sedan has a governed top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), while the Touring model tops out at 247 km/h (153.5 mph) (automatic: 248 km/h / 154.1 mph). Average fuel consumption (as per EU test cycle, depending on tyre format) has been reduced by approximately 13 per cent compared with the previous models, to 5.7 ? 5.9 l/100 km (47.9 ? 49.6 mpg imp) (automatic: 5.3 ? 5.5 litres / 51.4 ? 53.3 mpg imp) for the Sedan and 5.9 ? 6.2 litres (45.6 ? 47.9 mpg imp) (automatic: 5.5 ? 5.8 litres / 48.7 ? 51.4 mpg imp) for the Touring model. CO2 emissions are 149 ? 155 grams (automatic: 139 ? 145 grams) per kilometre for the BMW 530d Sedan and 155 ? 162 grams (automatic: 145 ? 152 grams) per km for the BMW 530d Touring.

True, l but that engine is already available with xDrive; the only difference is that it now will be available for the RWD also. It also means that the 6-cyl premium is upped a bit as the 525d now is a 4-cyl.

As of model year 2012 also "a traditional 3.0l L6" F10 530i is available with 272 hp.

I think it's high time to upgrade the 535i engine as well since it's so useless compared to Audi A6 3.0T.
