Was wondering what's the difference between Fujimi's 512BB and BBi. Does anyone know?

Well, this is all the difference in the real cars:
512BB
The 365 was updated as the 512BB in 1976, resuming the name of the earlier Ferrari 512 racer. The engine was larger at 4942 cc, but horsepower was off to 340 hp @ 6800rpm largely as a result of lower redline. Torque was up to 45.7 kgf·m (448 N·m) from 43 kgf·m (422 N·m), largely as a result of larger displacement and a longer stroke. Dry sump lubrication was used for a lower center of gravity. External differentiators included a new front spoiler, wider rear tires, added NACA side air vents ducting air to the brakes, and four tail lights (rather than six). 929 512BBs were produced.
512BBi
The Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injected 512BBi introduced in 1981 was the last of the series. The fuel injected motor produced cleaner emissions and kept the same power as the 512BB but achieved it at 6000rpm, nearly 12% lower. External differentiators from the 512BB besides badging include a change to metric sized wheels and the Michelin TRX metric tire system, small white running lights in the nose, and red rear fog lamps outboard of the exhaust pipes in the rear valence. 1,007 512BBi models were produced.
So for a model, probably not too much.

The BBi kit includes extra small lights on the bumper, shorter (narrower) grill partitions, injection engine parts and buck-up fog lights by the exhaust tips. But, Fujimi didn't represent different tire/wheel sizes, and different louver widths on the engine cover.
Perhaps, the biggest difference (and advantage) is that the BBi's body parts are molded in white, which makes painting much easier than the red bodies in the 512BB and 365GT4BB kits.
