I guess they don't switch the turbo to the other side ?? I checked both the UK and Australian websites, but they have left hand drive pictures. And in the car configurator in the UK, they have altered the front bumper with Photoshop ! |

M50d EURO spec : half open on the right, closed on the left I don't see a difference but of course this is only based on the pictures in the different configurators.... Anyone who has one of these 2 cars can confirm this ? |

Not everyone is an English native speaker Most of Europe is RH drive as well, except for UK, IRL, Scotland & Wales. Anyway, I saw you mentioned luxury line but I tought this tread was about the M Sport ? bumper is different from other lines...The 2.5 sd in non M Sport outfit even has both sides closed... Guess the 4 cilinder turbo doesn't any extra air ??? Get's very confusing ( and late....) |

Sir You are correct, thus thread is M Sport. Thus my comments do not apply to this thread. OP, I googled that today, Original poster. I guess I was the cause for the confusion. My apologies. |

Is there a technical reason why one side is open and the other closed? I know my 50i is like this but seem to recall the msport 35i having both closed. Visually having both sides open with the aluminum accent strip is preferred just want to ensure performance isn't affected if I opt to order an open intake for the drivers side. (USA spec) to match the open passengers side.

Both vents in the front bumper are open, and behind it there appears to be some kind of radiator. So I suppose the reason open and closed vents exist is based on the engine configuration, and who knows, maybe even on general climate of the country where you buy the car (closed in colder regions, open in warm regions ? ) |

I imagine the only thing that would suffer from opening the space up would be mileage and top speed... but the difference would likely be negligible. |

You could be right, I don't know. Maybe they cover it up because the emplty space behind it is ugly Anyway, I ordered the parts (both open vents and the M50d chrome line) and will have them installed as soon as my car gets delivered. If it's ugly, I can still put he original parts back on. I will post pictures of before and after as soon as I have them...but don't hold your breath, my car only get's delivered end of Jan. |

Take a look at any low cf cars (i8 for one) and you'll see very few openings in the bumper, if not needed (closed grills where there's no radiator, etc). |
