-Charcoal filter ~10 hp at the crank
-Regenerative braking ~5-10 hp at the wheels
We could be looking at about 20-25 less hp at the wheels for the US car, UGH! I suppose this is worst case scenario but since the rwhp is "hidden" and all BMW has to quote is crank hp it is just another way the US gets screwed and gets a slower car, double ugh.

Well the charcoal filter is easily fixable, so not too concerned with that. That leaves the Reg Braking and using your estimated levels, 5-10 hp isn't that awful.
I agree though, would love to have the Reg Braking come stateside.
