I am a little worried though M sport is just more geared towards M drivers who want a more reasonable engine and car than a true M. So a more robust supsension, more robust looking body work. Just not sure if it speaks to me as much as that nice sportline look. But the interior of the M Sport with Burl is so rich looking. Almost too good to pass up! |

How much power bump is there with the chip mod I've been hearing about? And does that void the warranty?

BMW likes to reserve the x40i designation for the higher-end cars like the 6er and 7er. |

Definitely sold on the M Sport; the entire exterior, the steering wheel, burl dash and wheels are outstanding to me.
Was leaning toward the Sport Line but couldn't get past the interior highlights and the whiskers. |

I did M-Sport with wood trim. No regents at all (and I am actually very happy that I did not get a sport line, I would have been just settling for what they had instead of getting what I wanted, who wants to custom order a car under those conditions? Not me.

Same here. Black Sportline on 19 inch 401s. But black leather interior, red stitching yes, but no worries. I got rid of the red strip on the dash though(aluminium plus black piano) Yesterday I had a guy walking by complimenting me on my rather dirty(didn't wash it in about 2 months) car. About the M -Sport: ALWAYS go with the 19 inch M-sport wheels as you already stated. The 18 inch wheels look way too small and almost chaepo on such a bonkers looking car a F30 M Sport is.

19" on the UK's potholed tarmac will be a nightmare. 18" give a better ride. Oh, the M Sport does not look bonkers, it's how all F30s should look in the first place. The other types just look very ordinary.

An inch made all the difference: me either hating the ride and the car or loving it. I've driven one with 19" wheels + Adaptive Suspenders and could not stand it. It was noisier, the steering was not as sweet, the ride rough and jiggley and it tramlined a bit more. Sometimes beauty can be a pain in the arse!

You get what you like. I like both the M Sport and Sportline, but when it came down to buying the car, I went with the Sportline. I like the look, I like the foglights, and the MSPort was only cosmetic changes with no aerodynamic advantage, and no power or handling advantages. I wasn't trying to skimp, I put on about $14k in options, MSport just didn't warrant the extra expense for me. Its tough to read in here those that criticize any choice but going with the MSport. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is the cash. In my case, when I buy another BMW, I'm going with the real M,...M3 or M5. I am sure you will love whatever you choose. |

I just picked up my M Sport last night, holy hell am I impressed. The sport looks great, don't get me wrong. The M Sport looks better. Let us all know what you end up choosing.

They more or less did this with the 335is. Not sure why they discontinued it.

when i first saw the F30 i wasn't super thrilled with the look of the sport line.
when the m-sport came out (that and the fact i could finally get xenons without premium for 2013) it pushed me closer to buying a car. when my 2010 A4 had a major component fail again and continued to burn a quart of oil ~every 1500-2000 miles and neared its warranty end, well that got my deposit. M-SPORT ALL THE WAY. it just looks better. the steering wheel feels better. and the rims too. yeah its all cosmetic but $1250 isnt too much. |
