The 2.0 M10 was no more available after 1976. The movie sound appears to be authentic. I assume this is a fake 520 (badges) but actually a 518 (M10 engine, too, but available also in a 1980 model). The 1977-81 520 also had a bigger tailpipe for its inline-6 engine. The 4-cyl 520 did not have a front '520' badge. The alloy wheels are aftermarket.
