Why does this same question always get asked?

1. If it were the same, it would be listed under the M car lineup but it is NOT.
2. Who cares what others think? Just don’t go adding extra badges. Why? See #1.
3. Get the car you like and can reasonably afford.

For a non-track car I never felt the need to pay up for the extras power, forged rims, big brakes or limited slip. But I do prefer the looks of the M sport trim over standard which is why I usually opt for that package. And yes for track, having M car is great because I’d spend more trying to retrofit many of those go fast parts or find creative ways to stuff wide rubbers.
