Guess that's why it's shocking some people in the US that it's black now but I guess that's how BMW distinguishes the smaller engines in general.
Aside from pure looks, there are 2 ways black vs silver can be viewed:

1) sliver shows the car has a better engine

2) black shows the car has a more economical engine

35i owners will pick 1) and 28i owners 2)

They'll just have to deal with the shame as we have done in Europe for years!
