"M sport" brakes are NOT included as OEM on Msport F30's.

BRAKES:
In the US, M Sport Brakes are a port of the M Sport Package as a standalone option. In Germany, M Sport Brakes are option and the option requires either M Sport Package or a 335i with at least 18" wheels.
The M Sport Brakes feature bigger rotor sizes and fixed piston calipers both front and rear. They are Brembo 4-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the front axle and 2-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle. The brake calipers are painted in dark blue and an M logo is applied (think of the F10 M5 caliper design here) (see the first photos below from a previous spy photo) . You may not want to miss out on the M Sport brakes, as BMW will be offering as a BMW Performance part, huge 370mm drilled/slotted brake discs for the M Sport brakes (see below).
370mm = about 14.6"

BTW, I have a 335i Msport in my garage. 
I wish I had those nice colored 4 piston calipers.
Brake rotors look the same as they do on a 335i sport line.
I'm open to knowing if the Msport's do have rotors that size, but I haven't read anything that states that as true, and neither of those threads say it either. If you have a real reference source, please post it.

Tell ya what, why don't you go measure your front and rear rotors? I would offer to, but my M-sport is still 6 weeks away
Your calipers are the same as what you'd get in the $3K Performance brake upgrade package, just not colored red/yellow/orange.

Also, certain items and options are country specific, so what may come standard in a US spec Msport may be different that what one may get in Canada, or Europe, etc...

The sport seats and sport suspension in the Msport are the SAME as in the sport line, as I clearly stated in my post, the one you responded to.
Your original post that I quoted makes no reference to sport seats or sport suspension.
I'm quite aware that the sport seats and sport suspension are exclusive to the M-sport and Sport lines (in the US) and never insinuated otherwise. Just pointing out that compared to No-line/Modern/Luxury, you do get something other than cosmetic improvements with the M-sport package.
