Why does one of these G20s have a front radar sensor

A G20 is a possible replacement for my F30. It would most likely be an M340i, but I wouldn't completely rule out a 330d, which I slightly prefer aesthetically (exhausts and grille).

While I would probably buy new, I have been taking a look on the AUC site to see some real world pictures of colour / wheels etc. One odd thing caught my eye - when looking at two cars with an apparently identical spec, apart from the 30d/20d engine, one has a front radar sensor and one does not. I can't see anything in the spec which could account for this difference - I would expect neither to have it. Here are the pics of a black 330d and a grey 320d:





Here is the listing for the black 330d: https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2...b-3ccc676db884

Here is the listing for the grey 320d: https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2...0-d20485948ff8

Incidentally, I notice that the 330d has larger exhaust pipes, as with some F30 models:





But can anyone explain the presence of the radar sensor on the 320d, and not on the 330d?

Cheers!
