Could anyone please tell us a bit more regarding the front vents on the bumpers of the different lines models:

in order of Appearance:
Sport
Luxury
Modern
and M-sport




Questions:

if you notice above, why is the vent inlet on the passenger side (left side looking straight on) larger than the vent inlet on the driver side (right side looking straight on) ?

Shouldn't they be the same size? (just like in the M-Sport)
and since they are not, what is the driving factor for the different size?

Would UK cars have the opposite configuration or would this be conserved?

Behind the bumper for the Sport/Lux/Modern Line, are they all the same?
what's behind those vents? or the Sport has something that the Lux and Modern dont have?

The M-Sport certainly is different... but how much different is it compared to the Sport line and the Lux/Modern lines, if any ??


I remember seeing two different Cx for the F30, depending on Engine size or model line configuration... is it related to the different front bumper, or is it because of what's behind those bumpers? or both?


So what's behind those bumpers?? i would like to know?


PS: and if you noticed, on some Modern line cars, the holes sizes are of the same pattern as for the Luxury and Sport.... but on the above picture, the passenger size is actually the same size as the Driver side... Wonder why the difference...

I know that's a lot of questions but...
Could anyone here please enlight us all! ?

Great comparison. I know which one I prefer the look of the most.
