I saw a price list for tte German market from a source that I would say reliable. There have been rumours that it was a 2.2L modified 2.3L.Energy, it has only 5 or 7 horses more than the 2.2L at 177bhp. So if it's starting pull that you are looking at you will be disappointed also. But the torque shown here is about 20Nm better than that of 2.2L and you should get better in-line acceleration from it. The 2.2L has a decent in-line acc. but not great.BTW, heard no more 6-pot 520i (and the price list didn't show either). The new E90 320i is using the 4-pot valvetronic. Not sure if there will be a 520i using this; have heard rumour it will be a 518i  :unsure:</blockquote>
