Official Performance power kit for the F10 520d ?
Hi, Does anyone know if / when BMW UK are bringing out an official Performance power kit for the F10 520d, as is currently available for the 120d and 320d?
The 2011 model year 525d is a 2.0d with 218ps and 450Nm, vs. the 2010/2011 520d with a 2.0d at 184ps and 380Nm. On this basis, I would imagine that the potential to upgrade the 520d would be relatively simple to provide from a technical perspective, in terms of a "Performance power kit". The blocking factor for releasing a kit, I imagine, would be the negative sales impact on 525d for current 520d owners aspiring to a bit more power.
If anyone has a definite "yes there will be a kit" / "no there won't be a kit" for the 520d, I'd like to know. I don't want to go down the 3rd party provider route.
Thanks ... cheers.
