I can live in hope that this is just a US-spec.

I am surprised the 530i didn't get the power bump that was almost a given for LCI.
But with the 300-400 pounds extra in the 530i over comparable 330i not sure if the extra torque would have been all that noticeable?
The 530e did get a power bump to 288HP..
