125i/128i airbox differences?

Hi guys,
just browsing through some pics and noticed that the 128i's have a slightly different air box to the ones in our 125i's. anyone know if there is any difference apart from the case?

Are all 128i are right hand drive, if so, that's probably the reason.

Hardly any U.S. 128i (or 135i) models are right hand drive.

The Euro air box has a different filter (conical) from the US air box filter (flat angular) which is why they are shaped differently.
