And 520d, 530i/d, 540i G30 EU.

On that matter BMW did great they never fail any emission test. The only problem is the price we have to pay for Diesel engines. In Canada they kind of fix it with the 328(320)d with a 3000$ extra over the 320i which make sense but the F10 535(530)d was too expensive for it's engine. Anyway I'm waiting for the G31 540d to replace my F31 now

"He's" coming over or already here and possibly gone? Production date was a year ago and it has rather long since discarded NSG camouflage.

Good find. More engines options are better. Don't know if it makes sense for me though with fewer miles driven and low energy prices.

Once again the American diesel designation will be a marketing scam...

The 195kW power indicates this American 540d will actually be the otherwise known 530d in the rest of the world meaning single turbo and approx. 265ps.

Not the normal 540d biturbo with approx. 320 bhp

Yes, I posted about it in another thread.

What happens to these prototypes? If they built this many does that mean they might get sold? Also can we assume this model will be coming to US for sure since prototypes are already produced?

They are not sold, they are recycled
All manufacturers have recycling facilities for prototypes, test car and some press cars
