The 330i M-Sport will come with 'sports' suspension, additional bodykit, M badging for steering wheel, gear lever etc.

This doesn't mean it's an 'M' car, just that it has some cosmetic enhancements and a more aggressive suspension setup.

They are all completely different from ///M cars as they are built elsewhere with their own suspension, engines etc.

BMW's M-Sport cars such as the 135i M Sport in the UK is no different from Audi having an S-Line version.

Having said all that, anyone trying to pretend that have an ///M car is just tacky. The M Sport badges look a but crappy too IMO.
Thats it we just figured.
-You can slap an M-Sport on a 135I(S-Line on a4)
-You can slap the M to a 135(cant slap an S to a4)
M-sport=S-Line
Personally I still agree with what ADC said above M=Marketing
Does the lever or steering wheel,anthracite headliner,door sills,261 wheels make me go faster...No....Sorry to say but there is NO GO fast parts in the 135I M-Package
