Which performance upgrades? |
I was referring to the usual refinements that come with buying an M over the fastest non-M version of the same car (M engine, M suspension, interior refinements, etc). For example, I see people say that the 435 is a lot of car and almost the same as an M4. I say that is a bunch of crap. I put 33k miles on my 2014 434 m sport before I traded it for my 2015 m4 that now has 44k miles on it. The two cars could not be more different and the performance spread is blatantly obvious. My experience with a v8 x5 and the x5m left me with the same impression. However, I do understand that the extra performance of the M is not for everyone. In fact, the M magic is lost on most people and the only people that truly appreciate the M's are part of the enthusiast community.
