Its based on a 520 auto. The auto bit is fkd. Hence the query on 'another board'. I would not entertain a 520 or god forbid a 518. But I use the same name on several boards so please dont quote me. We dont have the Ute or pickup tradition in the UK. Probably because we dont have the weather to match. AFIK the seller in Surrey. Thats a posh bit of the UK where a pickup truck would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb:-)
