I knew it was a 520d, but you can't tell from the looks of it.
Here the 520d is the most common f10/11 without a doubt. Up until the LCI the 520d was the entry level f10 and for most people buying a f10 the 520d is already pretty expensive, but still fast enough for Norwegian roads.

Europe is so lucky with all the diesel options; too many fools in the US with preconceived notions on diesel. I wanted a 550d so bad!!!

Oh, and I know I said it in my head, but I'll just repeat it here; that red is awesome!

Imola red is my favorite color.
I really wanted one that looked very much like that.

I live in the same city but I have not seen that car yet, some of those pictures (next to the e60) is taken not far from my house

Same in Belgium: everyone has a 520d. And frankly, no much point these days having anything else as a daily driver.

I will.
Just bought it and I am in South-Korea working at the moment so will start one of me detailing it when I get home.
Was not a good feeling to get a new car, and a week later leave the country for work for 4 weeks.

We also also get 518d (on the LCI), 525d and 530d with those twin tail pipes. This is a 520d.
Curious -how could you tell? Also, I never seem to hear much about the 525d. Seems like most people get the 520d- why is that? Is the price increase or extra taxes prohibitive?
He could tell first of all because the OP posted that it was a 520d a couple of posts before your post

And, in Norway the DOT/DMV has a App that gives you the tech spec of the car if you enter the license plate number. Same service on their web pages as well. Both are 100% free. So fairly easy to look up

If you want to know who's the owner, you have to pay a small text message fee.

In theory you can also tell if it's a small engine version by looking at the front brakes/brake caliper. But that only tells you that it could be a 518d, 520d or 520i, 523i.
