G30 1.6L 520i !!!! Anyone knows what's this
Dears
Due to unknown reasons, BMW Egypt is offering only ONE variety of the LCI 2021 5er!!! and that is a 1.6L 170hp engine (used to be for the 118i few years ago) and no other variant available What's this special 520i is all about? it reminds me of the MB W213 E180 that was sold here in Egypt till 2019.

Very strange indeed! Usually they do this for reasons of local taxation. Probably a 2.0 is prone for excessive extra charges?
When it's a 1.6 with 170hp it might still be the peugeot sourced engine they used in the F20 before the LCI for the 118i? |

Since 2019 and there's zero customs on all European cars ; that's why it's really strange of them to do so And I guess the 170hp is not the N20 (it was 136hp)

I guess it's the 1.6 N13, which came in 170hp/250Nm guise in the 118i. I don't remember BMW using a more modern engine with this output with only 1.6l displacement. So, a BMW 5-series with the engine of a peugeot 207. Not a thrilling thought I must say.

Since both engines use the same turbo and lots of other common parts it can not fill the turbo until 2.500rpm and accelerating from 0km/h is a total torture But after 3.000rpm it's quite agile

That's bad luck: turbo threshold at low rpm's and only 170hp. Doesn't fit with the chracater of the 5-series either. Should at least have some torque as from the go. Sorry to hear this.
