Not mine, not Euro spec, but I have no reason to a Euro spec car wouldn't have power brakes. Two "extra" brake lines will be all you see, the pressure reservior probably won't be on the master cylinder like it is on the Chevy.

BMW has used hydroboost on brakes for a long time, 25 years or more that I know of. Better brake feel, I suppose.

Detroit resisted disk brakes for a long time because they require a power booster for normal driving, and they didnt' want to spend the $15 per car for power brakes....
