[QUOTE="John_Smith, post: 456785, member: 15372"] If I'm not mistaken, 523i = M52TU, and 525i = M54. The difference between M52TU and M54 is quite a lot, despite both are double vanos. 523i - 125 kW (170 PS; 168 bhp) @ 5500 245 N·m (181 ft·lbf) @ 3500 525i - 141 kW (192 PS; 189 bhp) @ 6000 245 N·m (181 ft·lbf) @ 3500 "2001 For the 2001 model year (Cars made from September 2000), BMW updated the E39 with newer, clear-lens tail, side marker, and headlights which first displayed the now-popular "angel eyes." Rear tail lights were changed to "wave-guide" LEDs (Hella, the OEM, refers to these lights as "CELIS"), while the side and rear turn signals were changed from amber lenses to clear. The black trim was now painted to match the body color, and the front bumper now featured rounded fog lights. Internally many changes were made to electronics; items such as window regulators and the air conditioning were updated.
