I would like to understand what exactly "m-performance" designation brings to the table given that the engine tune is the same as I have in my MPPK for the f30. I actually have 335 horsepower...
I think the whole LSD option qualifies it for M-performance designation.

But the current M135i offers no exclusive performance parts (AFAIK) except a slightly tuned engine, so it's just basically marketing genius that bodes well with customers.
