Again, the pictures you desperately want to show something in your favor are showing exactly what I am saying -- "Enhanced Performance and Design..." Let me translate that for you -- the M pieces come from the M division, the M340 is just like any other 3-series, designed and built at the same place... Again, nothing really to do with the M |

It's so funny to see M owners on this forum trying so hard to prove that they are special - like "US sold less than 20k M3/4 in 2019" bla bla. Come on guys it's just a car lol.

However, stating the facts that the M3 sales are much lower, therefore much more rare than what the California people are saying ("every 4th vehicle is an F8x..." has nothing to do with trying to prove it is special... |

And please elaborate on those "M pieces" you are referring to? The key components of the ZF8 transmission which can handle up to 730lbs of torque and a locking differential, are there - which was lacking on any 3 series M Performance upgrade or package possible. |

driving an M car what gives the pleasure of the owner not tracking it everyday.. some might be buying M cars just to show off.. but bigger part i believe is not.. M cars feels different, smells different, sounds different.. it even makes me happy to see M title on the registration.. never had a normal BMW and i wont have one probably except real M.. i ll be more happy in a stock E46 M3 than a brand new M340i..

It seems this marketing strategy has not reached Canada. When viewing "All models", only the original ///M models are listed under the "M" category:

I have both (e90 M3 and X3 M40i) and really surprised by the number of people (friends and strangers) who perceive X3 as a "real M" car. Most non-enthusiasts don't know the distinction and there are enough M logos on m40i X3 to confuse them. I personally find it annoying as I have to explain to them each time that there's actually a real X3M. This is probably what BMW intended and working brilliantly

That is the biggest difference I noticed going from the F30 335i with all Mperformance stuff to the F80. The speed and technology is a totally secondary thing.... |

I do agree the B58 sounds better than the S55 and S58.
