First of all there are a few misconceptions that need to be addressed in this thread:

1. M on the steering wheel and shift knob comes with the Sport package. The M package has a few more additions.

2. There is a very marked difference between having a lone "M" badge versus a "M" badge with a number after it.

I had a M-sport 1999 E39 when I lived in Germany. It came from the BMW DEALERSHIP with a lone "M" badge on the car....there are various other autos I have seen in German dealerships with the badge as well...it denotes a M-sport packaged car....Why don't they do that in North America? Well it is because North Americans are badge snobs. The "M" logo is NOT sacred, if it was they would not put it on non-M vehicles...but that little number 3, 5, 6 IS sacred.
