Anyone else with a N26 engine?

I was under the assumption that the N26 engine was reserved for some high emission restriction states like California, but when I check my VIN via a decoder, it says I'm getting a N26 engine (don't have the car yet). Is that normal? Does anyone else have the more restrictive N26 motor?

I'm on a 2014 228i (auto), mine is an N20 and the VIN decoders agree. An N26 sounds strange to me for a Canadian car . . . .

It's an auto. So did they change it at some point for autos to get the N26?

This really seems rather odd, I hope it's just a typo!? There is no real reason for you to have a N26 engine over the N20! Better double check with the details of your car when you take delivery - just in case?

From what I've read, there isn't a lot different between the N20 and N26; just that the N20 responds to mods a little more and that the N26 drops a little more at the top of the rev range. I'm not too concerned with getting the N26, since the differences are minute. Still though, kinda weird. I wonder if the allocation that the dealer found for me is from the states. In the VIN decoder, under type, it reads "228I XDRIVE (USA)", but under order options, there's "838 CANADIAN VERSION"...

On the plus side, I just noticed my car went into production today!

Factory ordered 228ix Cab w/Auto - VIN decoder shows N26. Don't have the car yet, though it's been produced. I'm in Canada.

My brother-in-law ordered his 7 or 8 weeks ago (not delivered yet). Anyway, he sent me his VIN and right at the top of the page it says it's an N26 SULEV.

Guess they're shipping N26's anywhere now.

Took delivery of my 2016 228i back in April. It was a February production, and can confirm that it came with the N26 SULEV engine. I am in Canada.

I don't know when they changed it but I remember reading somewhere ( Canadian buying guide I think) that the auto was N26 and manuals N20, mine is a 6 speed. I will have to confirm when I get it should be in a couple of weeks.

I just looked at the PDF that my CA sent me back at the beginning of May for the 2016 Ordering Guide in CANADA & yup, it shows the 228i xDrive with the N26! Interesting.
