Was told today by a representive in a BMW garage that the 5 Series BMW 520I is a 2.2 litre engine..

And that the only 2 litre engine available in the BMW range is the 3 Series 318 Ci is this correct?

Thanks

Can't reply to the specifics, but it is the case that several models have engine capacity not starting with the last two digits in the model number.
 
I presume if you are looking at a 520i petrol it is second hand as BMW no longer make a petrol 520.

All 520s from 2002 onwards have a 2,2 litre straight six cylinder engine. The older 520 had a four cylinder 2 litre.

The smallest 5 Series now made is the 523 which has a detuned version of the 2.5 l engine used in the 525i.

Yes that is correct, the 520i is a 2.2 and the 318ci is a 2.0. The 320cd is also a 2.0 although that of course is a diesel.

Hi

Out of interest, could you please explain this "detuned version" ?

Many thanks

All I know is that both the 523 and 525 have a 2.5 l engine but the 525 has more BHP. I think its the way the tuning or injectors are set up.
