Conservative design typically correlates with higher sales. The volume of 1, 3, 5, and 7-Series you see on the road typically don't have the M-Sport workings. They're less off-putting to your average buyer. You always have the option to spec up your car to look the way you'd like, and in this case, it's not much of a cost premium versus, say, a sport package-equipped model.

They can capitalize on both demographics by increasing the margin of conservative vs. radical styling options.
Or people don't want to spend $3k for M-sport on a $30k car.
Good thing there's an option then.
