I imagine it will be the 230bhp model. The E92 LCI didn't come on sale until 2010(?)

Does it have the updated sat nav iDrive control? If yes, it should also have the 245 bhp engine.

I think the current 245bhp engine was introduced for the 2009 model year which means cars built from around September 2008 onwards; therefore, if your car is an 08-reg I doubt it will have the new engine but if it's a 58-plate it could have. I think the easy way to check is to look at the CO2 figure on the V5; if your car has the current engine the figure should be low 150's if it's a manual or low 160's if it's an auto. However, if the number's 170 plus I reckon it's the older engine.

The N57 is the 245bhp engine - good choice, much faster than the small power difference would suggest and more economical too.

IIRC the 245 engine was introduced at the same time as the facelift on saloon and tourings.

Is yours facelifted? Or LCI in BMW speak.
