120d and 123d M Sport Active Aerodynamics

Can anyone actually see the flats behind the kidney grill? I could see them on a 120i conv but not on my car. On the BMW website is says they exist.

Hmmm I'll have a look at mine. I'm expecting them to be there. Dealer was telling me about them when I ordered the car.

I'm not sure now. I can't find any reference to that feature on petrol or diesel 1ers. Guess I'll have a look tomorrow morning. I'll ask my dealer while I'm there.

I heard from BMW UK that active aerodynamics are not fitted to M Sport models as they would hinder air flow to the engine.

But its exactly the same engine! The M Sport "pack" is nothing mechanical (except suspension). They must think M Sport models will be driven harder than SE's

Update. Yep you're right. Picked my car up this morning and no flaps behind the grill. Dealer tried to tell me it was because the 123d is highly tuned and needs constant cooling... maybe.

Anyway, guess it doesn't matter. It has all the other features from Efficient Dynamics. And I love it! No buyers remorse here
