No, I don't work for them, but I'm in the market for one (either X3 35i or 535i or 528i N20). The restructured F10 range is 520i, 528i, 530i, 535i & 550i. 520 & 528 use N20 but with different output. Not sure 530i will come or not cos it uses N53 engine & it seems BMW did not sell any N53 F10 officially outside of EU. If BMW allows the N53 to be sold outside of EU then probably the 530i will be used to plug the big gap between 528 & 535, but those in the know will probably choose 528 cos in real world it'll perform better than 530, esp in HK.
N20 will start production from 9/2011 onwards, so probably if u order now u'll get N20. Another thing is I think there may be a chance for 528 & 535 (w/start stop) to have EFV tax deduction.
