On M57N engines there are Euro 3 and Euro 4 variants all the way thru E53 manufacturing. I don't know if Australia was limited to either version. If it's Euro 4, it has swirl flaps, EGR cooler, DPF and throttle valve. Many of those visible by just looking under the hood. Euro 3 version has none of those.

Yes, that might be correct re the Plates fitted, I'll look closer to see if anything is a gimme on them
I have had the manifold off just recently, there definitely wasn't any rod for swirl flaps
and I definitely do not have a DPF or EGR cooler, so I can guess I have Euro 3 then.
Thank you for the interesting and helpful information.
@wpoll, Wayne, I will have a look this week asap to see if the controller box is situated there. I honestly cannot remember seeing it last time. There again, that doesn't mean it is not there, I just wasn't looking for that. I was looking for vacuum hoses and holes.
