2013 BMW 328i with Electronic Waste Gate?

I have a 2013 328i and it seems the turbo has an electronic waste gate. Did some of the 2013 models have the EWG instead of the pneumatic waste gate? I've read before that the models before 2014 had pneumatic waste gates and I found it odd that my car doesn't.

Yes, 2013 was the year they switched from PWG to EWG. I dont remember the exact month but if you were the earlier half of the year, then you are PWG, the later half would be EWG.

You can decode your vin and see when your car was produced.
