328x sport line front bumper

Have anyone notice that the front bumper of a 2013 328x sport line is asymmetric? One side has a plastic covered and the other doesn't. Is this normal ??

I can be wrong (and I'll definitively check when I get home), but I think that on the 320, both are covered, one uncovered on the 328, and both uncovered on the 335.
If you look thru it, you'll see that you have a radiator in the right side (dunno if it's like in the E90, oil cooler).
I've seen pictures of 335i without the front bumper on (during their M Sport bumper conversion), and they had a radiator in each wheel well.

Like I said, I'll definitively look into this at home.

Just checked (had a photo of the front on my phone)... My 335i is the same as yours.
Uncovered on the right, covered on the left.

Should install the M Sport bumper shortly.
Will see behind all this if I'll do the same with the new bumper.

Funny I notices that about 2 weeks ago after having my car for about two weeks. I thought there was some damage but looking closer behind it does look like it was intentional for cooling, not sure what.
