[TheNemesis]

I cant reli see the difference. Please help. Checked technical specification sheet too.

U meant the engine alone or overall?

 

[3er]

The car is different...

 

[Maniac]

series is different...

One is a 5 and the other is a 3.. Both same engine but with relatively different tuning. The 3 is a six speeder and the 5 is an eight speeder.. The 3 is from the E series era and the 5 is now from the F series. No difference you say?:hmmmm2:

Or are you comparing with the E90 320d and E60 520d? Then the powertrain could all be the same.

 

[TheNemesis]

I cant see much the difference besides the six speeder and eight speeder.

as an auto driver. not much diff i think.

Ok the E60 and E90 2.0d comes from the same breed. Hence the same spec. What are you looking for actually? Performance wise the 320d may be better than the 520d due to the power to weight ratio.

For the 8 speeder, you have to try the F10 520d. Worlds apart from the E60 520d.

The 320d is totally different from the 520d....unfortunately, after one has driven the 320d for some time now like we have...the 520d is in one word...."underwhelming".

In a way it is mizhan bro (Protem Com member! Wow! That's our man!)....becos my friend who's a doc (and motoring journalist/COTY judge) used the term to describe the 520d....ha ha! Yeah, I borrowed it from him-a little bit of plagiarism going on-sorry!

And the definition of 'underwhelming' is

underwhelming [ˌʌndəˈwɛlmɪŋ]
adj
failing to make a positive impact or impression; disappointing
