Old 530D is the single turbo right? Whereas 535D is Twin Turbo.
No the 330d is a single turbo so called "Twin Power" and not two turbos. Its BMW's latest speak for their single turbo powered petrol and diesel engines.

From what I can see it’s not a brand new engine but the same aluminium N57 engine that was fitted to the E9X LCI models, albeit fettled with to give more power and torque.

Yes, the 535d and 335d has two turbos.
