No it's not a full on M car, it's a halfway M car especially if you add the M performance parts (LSD, suspension and brakes) then it really starts to approach full M level... Only things missing for full on M at that point would be:
1) bespoke motor
2) fender flaring
3) torque vectoring LSD
4) wider rubber
5) better cooling
6) DCT option
7) quad exhaust

This is assuming the m perf brakes and m perf suspension are to the level of full M cars in terms of performance

But then again, who gives a crap?
I like it so I will buy one ..
Man you know your bmw stuff! Thank you.
