That's not how I read it:

All models now come with direct injection technology providing most of the engines with minor power upgrades. Power is up for all the petrol engines except in the 325i and 335i
I read that as saying all the engines will receive DI, but not all will get a power boost.

That's OK with me, as DI usually provides better low end torque, and fuel economy. Both things the 328 could use.
