I watched a video about the Motor sport division at BMW making amazing race cars....But a 116i M sport has as much Motor sport pedigree as a Nissan Juke Nismo edition.
I think the only cars in the BMW range that are close been sports cars are proper M cars, but it's a sad fact of life people pay extra for brands/badges because for many image is more important than substance. This is true in every part of life, from cloths to bags to cars. I'm as guilty as anyone else, despite 19inch wheels been awful for ride and handling I still prefer them on the car over 17-18 wheels simply because they look better.9
Personally who cares, if people want to waste time and money on M sport branding go for it....but let's not pretend the M sport badge has any real sporting/technical meaning any more
