"So if I were to order a BMW 125i with adaptive M running gear or sports steering, for example, there would be a difference from the set-up of these components as compared to the BMW M135i?
Correct. It is not possible to give a BMW 125i the same characteristics and performance of the BMW M135i by adding special equipment options. Not only the transverse and longitudinal dynamics are different - the entire character of the BMW M135i is distinct." |
I just wonder how much of that 30% parts change are things like the M sport brakes, adaptive dampers and variable sport steering, which you can order on standard F20s. Do they count the engine as part of that parts change? I would genuinely like to know these things.
