Upcoming BMW Engine Updates for the European Market?

I hope somebody can tell me if any of these updates will happen and if so, when exactly.


1 Series

Will 3-/5-dr and coupe/cabriolet models share more engine choices (e.g. 125i 3-/5-dr, 135i 3-dr or 120i Coupe)?

3 Series


Will 3 Series get 323i (already available in 523i) or 328i (available in US & Canada)?

What about 323d (150 kW engine used in 123d)?

5 Series

Will current 5 Series get any new engines before the end of production?

For example:

528i (172 kW; Currently available in US & Canada)?
535i (225 kW) or 540i (240 kW; presented in the new 740i)?
550i (300 kW; From 750i)?
523d (150 kW; from 123d)?

6 Series

Any new models before production end?

635i (225 kW)?
640i (240 kW; from 740i)?
650i (300 kW; from 750i)?
630d (173/180 kW)?

X5

When will X5 get petrol engines from X6?

X5 xDrive35i (225 kW / or perhaps new model xDrive40i with 240 kW)?
X5 xDrive50i (300 kW)?

Re: Upcoming BMW Engine Updates for the European Market?

The X5 probably won't get new engines until the FL, which isn't all THAT far away.

I doubt the 5er will get new engines prior to the new model coming. The rest, I can't say.
