Secondly the cats are different and as a result the USA spec gives more fuel to injection... Another us regulation... I talked with the Guy from BMW motorsport department in Munich which only looks at m powers... Did someone know that?
So if you've talked to a guy that works in the BMW M division why didn't you get him to answer your questions? He'd be able to tell you whether a US-spec car can be re-flashed to Euro specs and address your fuel consumption concern/issue. Now I'm really confused as to why you've created this thread.
