I'm thinking something like a 'standard' F30 340i M-Sport. A different car altogether than a G20 M340i.
The M-sort trim is also market influenced. Here in the UK, for example, the F30 340i was only available in M-Sport trim. Many engine levels are available in different trims. Same key 'mechanicals', can be optioned. Like having an SE model with M-sport suspension and sport seats. Therefore a very similar drive in the SE, (identical performance) to the M-sport trim level.
I view cars like the current M340i as an "M-Lite".
