Why is this called an M Sport? There are no performance gains are there? Just some stuck on aero kits. Is this just a marketing ploy? Does BMW typically put their M Badge on vehicles without bumping up performance? Seems like it kinda waters down the name.

We are new to the BMW world but when I think of M series I think of performance (bigger brakes, more HP/TQ), apparently that is the wrong assumption. I can't help but feel like this kit is similar to what some 18 year old would glue on their honda civic. I wonder why this doesn't at least have a retuned ECU. That could be done at a small cost and offer great performance gains. People have been tuning the N55 for a while now.

Maybe it is just the nomenclature - M Sport vs M Series?
