This was a simple review of the engines, their weight, and theri placement in the new chassis layout. Has zero to do with being green.
BMW Marketing. They want us to buy the 328 and not so the 335i. It's cheaper better MPG(that we already knew) but it's almost as fast(maybe) and has a tad better handling(here the marketing comes in sort of) . The fact carmags/journalist(bribed) find the 328 in a way a better car means:Voila the 328 is going to sell better than the way too(exaggerating a bit) expensive 335.

BMW selling more of those greener 328s and less 335s is better in the long run, environementally/politically and governmentally, BMW is thinking into the future, the future is: Small(er) powerful better MPG 'green'engines:N20 =winner, the N55 loser.
