Probably no M parts.
M performance range offers an unique engine of the tri-turbo diesel on the 50d cars, but have M-tuned parts - which probably means different spring rates suspension, M performance specific setup options.
To understand this - M3 shares little parts with the series car - it is essentially a different car that looks like the series car whereas the M Performance are series cars with tweaks.
1M currently shares M3 parts. The M135i will probably have no M specific parts. That's why many enthusiasts are saying that M now stands for marketing.
