For US customers, the M-sport was never about performance, from what I am told, that will be the same across the board for F10's.

I for one think they should leave the M cosmetics for the M, maybe a purist, I bought a 550 not a M3 or M5. I know I am probably in the minority, just as I think debadging is odd but thats a whole different topic and forum I suppose.
This is true for Germany where you can order the M-Sport suspension as an option on an otherwise standard car. In the UK, and US I believe, we cannot as we must order the full F10 M-Sport package as the suspension only option is not available to us.

I like the cosmetic changes as do most UK driver, I read somewhere that around 50% of E60 and E92 in the UK have this package! Its a very important option for BMW UK and we like it.
