And this is a silly debate. Most people on the forum will probably agree, but we are the minority. I've owned both M and M Sport cars and have bought each for their purpose and my desires. The M Sport is about looks and impression with some performance improvements, but performance is not their focus. Its a way for BMW to make affordable cars more visually appealing to the masses; i.e. I really like the look of an M car, but can't afford a full M. BMW is not alone as everyone does this on their cars and it works, they sell so why not keep doing it. It does dilute the brand to us enthusiast, but it helps with sales.
