[QUOTE="wglee, post: 190971, member: 610"] Putting a 3 litre engine in a mid-ranger like the 525i (or the 325i) is a bad idea for tax-sensitive markets like ours. For those who do not wish to pay huge import duties and a hefty roadtax for 3 litre cars, they'll have to settle for the 523i (and 323i) which unfortunately is not as powerful (in terms of bhp AND torque) as the "old" 2.5 525i (and the 2.5 325i). Time to grab the present stocks of the "old" 2.5 525is and 325is, I say! [/QUOTE]
