AND is has a 2 litre engine, well - 1998 or whatever.

The 316/318/320 are all the same size engine, just have different power outputs - so you call tell people that you have a 2 litre 

Surprising I know, but check the handbook, the 3XX is just a marketing designation

Same as the 525d, 530d and 535d all have 3.0 diesel engines after 2007

Isn't dark side Diesel? In which case you would have to have a 318d to qualify .........

I wouldn't mind a new 320ED, 163 BHP, 8 secs to 60, 143 MPH and £20 for a years tax

Really? so the 535d is just a chipped 530d? Thought it had its own new engine  :-/

Not quite, this is how the 3 engines are:

525d - 204 BHP Small-ish Turbo
530d - 242 BHP Large Turbo
535d - 286 BHP Small Turbo & Large Turbo.

Thought you meant you'd started wearing pink crocs and listening to (p)Rick (gh)Astley CDs John.

Not in my lifetime

Although Albs got one of my CD's which is close to rick ghastly Shite

07 it'll be an E90

Thanks for info

That means I could have it chipped up

How is the power output achieved then :question if they are all the same size lump :-/

Different sized Turbo's on the diesels, different engine mapping on the petrols, some I think IIRC have different manifolds, like your 318i will have I think 143 BHP, but the 320i I think has a different manifold and a couple of other little mods and it has 170 bhp 

My 5 series has a 218 BHP 2.5 engine, the 523i has the same engine but 192 BHP due to a different manifold. But again the 525i after 2007 was changed to a more fficient 3.0 engine but still retains exactly the same power output, where as the 530i after 2007 has 272 BHP with the same engine. You could probably get you petrol mapped in a slightly different way and it'd give you 320i performance

do the auto's take power increases? same box for all variants ?

mates e39 touring ate its auto box, it was chipped, but there was talk of a blocked/damaged oil cooler so not sure what the cause was.

[PhilRich]

Rick Astley's to blame for everything!

[Ian_D]

I still keep thinking about changing mine for a 530d or 535d.

Its the first of the newer shape - 2003ish -> 2009ish? Which I love, but I cant really afford one yet.

What’s the running costs like on them vs 3.0 v6 I've got at the mo?
