Track width

Maybe it has been mentioned before in this thread but you can find a UK press release here (from bimmerfile.com):
http://bimmerfile.com/files/the_new_...ries_gb_fv.pdf

Now what strikes me as a bit strange is that according to that PDF, the lower end models are getting a wider track at the rear and not so much the upper end models (as mentioned by autoweek @ http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dl...6/1023/CARNEWS).

If you look at page 61 for the 318i, 320i:
Track, front/rear
mm
1,506/1,535
1,506/1,535

for the 325i, 330i, 335i (p.63)
Track, front/rear
mm
1,506/1,535
1,500/1,529
1,500/1,529

for the 318d and 320d (p.65)
Track, front/rear
mm
1,506/1,535
1,506/1,535

for the 325d, 330d, 335d (p.67)
Track, front/rear
mm
1,500/1,529
1,500/1,529
1,500/1,529

(the same goes for the saloon btw).

Note that all models get a wider track compared to the pre-fl which was
1500/1513.

Does anyone have more info on this?
