M models have giant massive brakes.
those fakers can get all the bodykits and emblems right but will never be rich enough to do any sort of mechanical changes, the brakes are most visible giveaway |

QUOTE(e60 @ Sep 11 2014, 10:12 AM) M4 and M5 are not officially imported in MY. eh, bmw malaysia website already listed out the verhicle with its priceM Sport spec are you referring to maybe? Well M Sport have no chrome trims around the door windows frame. Usually the alloys are bigger and different design than the SE or i specs. Roofs linings and leather seats are all black. F10 (current 5 series) M5 I think is 4.4litre (4400cc) V8 and the current F30 M3 is not yet launched ? but the previous M3 E90 is 4.0 litre V8. Rumour has it that the current 3 series M3 will be 3litre turbo and code F80 (not F30) RM 738,800 and Rm 748,800 respectively |

QUOTE(skywardsword @ Sep 11 2014, 11:12 AM) Doubt it is going to be anything close to the M3 and M4. Because it looks as though it will be an uptuned N55HP engine. Probably around 380 HP and 100kg lighter the regular 2 series (if they use the liberal amount of CFP they used in the other Ms) |

easiest way,
look at the size of disc brake for the M sport version. n for the 3/5 series, front can tell which model it is easily but for the back look at the tail light lining, 2 line means 3 series n 3 line means 5 series. |
