Sorry, moment of frustration there.

One of the reasons is that the M sport takes slightly longer to go through production, and usually is more optioned up, so the output numbers are lower.

The main reason, is price, as you can see by reading many of the comments from new buyers on this forum, saying that their main want was to get into a 1er. Unfortunately BMW is steep on prices for options and this also limits the sales of M Sports.

I am more than happy not to see tooooo many on the road, or is that just being a bit M Sportist.
I agree, rarity is good. A neighbour took delivery of a grey SE a few months back and I must say it does look fantastic. However, a BMW to me must be an M Sport, it stands for so much. I ordered my car 2 weeks ago and have been told end of Sept delivery. I have had to change from the Hex dash trim to maintain this though. My last experience with ordering an A1 showed how dealers do tell porkies to take a deposit and then the car ends up 8 weeks late...fingers crossed then.
