Go for the Msport

Even better go for the 430d

Suggest you post this in the UK bit of the Regional forums.

We can help you spend your cash

Remember the black grills

I would say get the m sport. Not only do yiu get the different body panels but you also get sport seats and m sport steering wheel. Def worth the extra couple bucks a month.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I prefer the look of the Luxury Line over the M sport.

Does the merino steering wheel give you the m sport steering wheel though? It looks and feels completely different than sports steering wheel option. Its probably my favorite thing about my m pkg.

Is this purely a visual discussion, or is there something else?
Assuming both cars have the same features (suspension, sport seats, etc), I'd say it is just a visual preference.

M-Sport is the only way to go! The steering wheel is worth the upgrade alone.

You may have already ordered your car but fwiw, I prefer the MSport appearance so much more on the F30/F32. When I had an F10, I was indifferent to MSport because the large saloon had an attractive enough grill & air dam, with a tasteful, classic executive style. But the air dam/lower grill on the non-MSport F30/F32, with the rounded openings on both ends, just doesn't agree with me. That, and the MSport wheel!
