What you will find in the M-sport is strictly cosmetic, I personally dont like anything M related on my non M 550, but the aero package which I am told is more subtle for the F10 might be nice, be interested in the $ on it.

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.
I've been waiting for the F10 for about 2 years now. Frankly I like everything about it but am really disappointed in the appearance of the front bumper. For me waiting for the MSport appearance is worth it. I spent a significant amount of money on my 2002 330ci some years ago switching to a factory BMW M-technic bumper and in my view it dramatically improved the appearance of the car overall.

I want to LOVE the look of the car, so in my circumstances and to my mind, holding out makes sense. I guess I'll see when they release the pictures presumably in July.
