Just curious really, but does anyone know why BMW didn't put this on the N20 models?
I've seen various posts on here and elsewhere about how original owners had to be compensated etc for the lack of it, despite it appearing on websites and in brochures. But I've never seen anything that actually explains why it wasn't fitted. Does seem a bit puzzling, especially when you consider the post facelift previous gen E85's had it as standard. Then the E89 23i and 30i models got it, which the N20 power 18/20/28i replaced and of course the top end 35i/is also got it too. It does seem ridiculous that they left it off the N20, all I can think is there was some technical issue behind it. :?
To be honest I don't particularly miss it as such, I'd just love to know why it was never fitted.
