Klier, you got those E39 520i figures wrong (you posted the older version).

The correct ones are:

E39 520i Inline 6: 170 hp (210 Nm), 9.1 seconds 0-100 km/h, top 226 km/h

Just think how much more powerful a 6 cylinder 520i would be today.

BTW my friend's family had a E46 320i Touring (170 hp/210 Nm) and they tested the new E90 320i Touring and were disappointed to the engine. They said exactly the same thing as the car mags: 320i has lost its personality with the loss of 2 cylinders...
