Ever wonder what the exact differences are?

The main difference between a true BMW M Sport and an M Sport appearance package is that the M Sport package is purely cosmetic, while the M Sport trim offers both cosmetic and performance enhancements.

The M Sport appearance package typically includes:
  • Sportier exterior styling, such as a more aggressive front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper
  • Larger wheels and tires
  • M badges
The M Sport trim also includes the above, but it also includes:
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Larger brakes
  • Sport seats
  • M steering wheel
In terms of performance, the M Sport trim offers a noticeable improvement over the standard model. The sport-tuned suspension and larger brakes provide better handling and stopping power, while the sport seats provide more support for the driver and front passenger.

The M Sport appearance package is a good option for those who want to give their BMW a more sporty look without spending the extra money on the M Sport trim. However, if you are looking for a car with improved performance, then the M Sport trim is the better option.

Here is a table summarizing the key differences between the two:
