Or that if you tick the "M-Sport" option on your build sheet, then the vehicle arrives festooned with "M" branding all over the place. When in reality, besides a few suspension pieces and some bumpers - it is the exact same car as one without the "M-Sport" option.
This has been going on for 20 years, or are you saying the E46 M sport package was not just bumpers and suspension tuning? The only thing that changed is that since the F-series, they put those M logos on the fenders in non-US markets.
