It is for emissions not fuel economy

No impact, but it ruins the sound.
Actually i believe early implementation did affect engine output on some versions, I think the eu m340 is still rated at 374 hp and the z4 launched in Eu with 335 hp when the us had 382. Not sure if that is 100% opf related
I didn't know that, thanks, are we sure it's the OPF and not a different tune to account for the OPF? Just curious as that's a large difference!
