Obviously the other difference would be the ECU code.

Actually, I've just always wondered if there was a nice stealth upgrade to the 320D, I bet the turbo looks very similar externally

there isnt a D5 Alpina only produce one diesel variant and that is the D3.

im a forum member on the alpina register, i cancelled my order for a d3 and got my 335d instaed......dms have not remapped any d3s, they said it might be possible but they would need a customers car for a week to develop it, and the uptake would be low (only 200ish in the UK) and if they could the powerband would be unusable as at the mo below 2000rpm in the d3 is dead its good between 2000-3300 and after that its shit again/.
