BMW 520d

"Joining the recently announced X3 2.0d Sports Activity Vehicle, the 520d uses the same all-alloy 2.0-litre engine, adding another turbo-diesel option to the range and supplementing the six-cylinder 530d."

Those days most engines are made out of alloy, they just use steel cylinders for the pistions to slot into.

wanna bore it out? simply chnage thickness of the steel cylinder.
