The M division of BMW simply produces suped up versions of the typical BMW models, so how is this model any different?
Plus, this is not an M Sport model, it is a true M car because it is powered by an M tuned engine. Theres a difference between putting an M badge on a 335i and putting an M badge on this car. On another important point, this is essentially the next generation of the 1M Coupe. They did comparisons between the M135i and the 1M Coupe.

I'm not sure the engine has been modified by ///M themselves,
if I remember correctly it's things like suspension that have had ///M treatment. I'm happy to be corrected on this if I'm wrong
