| Yes, it was done due to Euro5 standards - which means the car is taxed less in many EU countries, and thus comes with lower price for the customer: meaning the "new" engine - although consuming a tad more & bringing a tad less HP on board - is cleaner (total-emissions wise) ... making the new 130i more price competitive. |

| The painted interior on that brown car looks fantastic. Porsche offers the option to have interior trim painted in exterior color instead of cheap plastic, but like everything else with Porsche, it costs half a limb. Would be fantastic if BMW offers that as an option on all it's cars.  |
