Rav;
Yes, they have incorporated D.I. and Valvetronic with the new 535 engine, both here in the U.S. AND in Europe. But it was only in Europe & abroad that the normally aspirated motors ALSO had both.

I guess I assumed that it was a natural progression for BMW to continue forward with both technologies, as it appeared that the U.S. was the only exception to the rule. But I guess there must be other reasons.
