UK-based diesel tuning company Darkside Developments recently spent some quality time with a 5 Series from the F10 era to give this 530d a lot more juice.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cN57\u201d engine originally made 241 hp and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) before BMW bumped it to 255 hp and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm). Lest we forget BMW also sold an M550d with three turbochargers increasing output to 375 hp and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm). Well, Darkside Developments has managed to eclipse them all by fitting its own hybrid turbo, a custom intercooler, and other mods.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-441741\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"P90119966 highRes the new bmw 5 series 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of P90119966 highRes the new bmw 5 series 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-441741\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"P90119966 highRes the new bmw 5 series 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/P90119966_highRes_the-new-bmw-5-series-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of P90119966 highRes the new bmw 5 series 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After remapping the ECU and doing some necessary tuning, the dyno run showed a massive 417 hp and 650 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque from the inline-six turbodiesel 3.0-liter engine. All that oomph is channeled only to the rear wheels, which should make it a real hoot. As a matter of fact, it still breaks traction even in fourth gear because of the immense torque and lack of xDrive.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the final output numbers, they\u2019re even stronger than those of the discontinued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/07\/25\/test-drive-2018-bmw-m550d-xdrive-quad-turbos-for-the-people\/\">quad-turbo M550d version<\/a> of the current-generation 5 Series Sedan. As a refresher, the B57S was pushed to 394 hp and 561 lb-ft (760 Nm). The diesel monster was also retired from the M50d versions of the X5 and X7 with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2020\/07\/30\/bmw-x5-and-x7-m50d-final-edition\/\">Final Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>BMW believes diesel engines still make sense in today\u2019s hectic automotive world, hence why you can have one for the 1 Series all the way up to the 8 Series. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/28\/2023-bmw-m340d-touring-gets-the-individual-treatment-in-verde-ermes\/\">M340d<\/a> and M440d with their inline-sixes are among the last performance-oriented diesel cars money can buy, but the question is for how long. With Euro 7 regulations coming into effect in a couple of years, it remains to be seen how many diesel engines automakers will still offer by then.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yARsAQDdwKs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Darkside Developments \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MONSTER LIMO!! 417BHP BMW 530D! \ud83d\ude08 BIG Turbo, Intercooler + Remap!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yARsAQDdwKs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stricter emissions regulations in Europe are accelerating the demise of diesel engines in passenger cars, but tuners are not giving up on the once hugely popular oil burner just yet.
