But that doesn't actually require NBT. The first run of AH5's had CIC.
Claykin & jdong,

So why no upgraded unit in the F30 if hybrid does need the extra processing power?
Presumably because they're gonna sell less than 1000 of the hybrids, and it is the most expensive F30? They probably don't have enough NBTs produced to put it on every F30.
