I have a 2001 530d.
How do tell if its the model with 142 kW / 193 PS, or the one with 135 kW / 184 PS ?
Please help - I'm thinking about buying a chip which is supposedly going to up the power by 30bhp and they're model specific.

Try your local dealer - go to the parts dept. armed with your VIN number. They should be able to tell you. (probably best if you go in at a slack time rather than Saturday morning perhaps?).
