Interior- Luxury, but add sport seats. Exterior-BASE- I know... weird, but its the cleanest look at there. Seats- M Sport. Steering Wheel- Sport wheel from Luxury. - I want to love the M sport. But I question whether or not i'd be posing in that line. M is written on all the wheels, the steering wheel and 6 speed shifter. Even on the trim walking into the car. Yet we assume others wont think this is an M 3? my Lord BMW, why not just write ///M Sport instead!!!! Even Steering wheel wouldn't confuse with real M3... |

I personally hate burl wood in cars, it's so 1990. I would like it if the wood was more uniform. For my M-Sport the only option I can stomach is the aluminum, a little cold but what can I say.

1990s Spider Woods and metals have both been used through the decades. People have preferences, that's all. In 20 years you may prefer wood, thinking that aluminum is "too turn of the century." btw, "hate" is a pretty strong word.....

How can wood, which is hand crafted and great quality be hated? Why not have a beautiful wood interior... BMW is a very luxurious car. If they left it off the 3 series people would cry that its a cheap car! |

Did you just post a Renault photo in a BMW forum? Next time counter me with a Lada or Yugo for maximum comic effect. |

Not sure why I am on my high horse when it comes to the wood interior thing. I guess my eye sees some kind of luxury that is a personal taste. Carbon leather is actually my favorite. From the M3. To me, it was better than Burl or Metal. Let the M sport have that optionally and maybe or discussion is MOOT |

I upgraded my wheels so there is not one single M badge on the exterior. M steering wheels and knobs really do not mean much, do not get too hung up on It. I had a no line base 6mt on order at first. There is something about how the m sport is kitted out, it just makes the car feel a bit more special.

I think if BMW labeled the steering wheel as ///Msportline opposed to ///M wouldnt have this backlash. Or if the front spoiler wasn't such a duplicate of the next M3. I realize all of the components that go into an M are skin deep. But why is BMW pushing the M look on non M cars? Money... they can sell a package and people will sign up. Just in my case its about the Burl Wood, the nicer stitching. And less about the exterior appearance. |

But I have been to shows where people put m badges and m stripes on cars that did not come with them. Thats one thing. Audi has the S-line which gives it S4 appearance, MB has Amg packs of wheels and bodykit for lesser models, Porsche put the body kit from the turbo on NA 911s as S models. This is pretty much the standard for the industry.

I think its more of my own problem about image and what my friends think about the car as opposed to what reality is. I am glad you brought this up because maybe BMW needs to be cut some slack since MB, Audi and Lexus all have a sportline similar to their performance brand. |

The only people worried about being a poser driving M Sport packages are ones that aren't comfortable in their own skin. Now, if you stick a ///M badge on your M Sport, like this guy, then yeah, you're being a poser.
