Good point, south. Although I will not be surprised to see Audi respond in time with their own performance diesels. As a side note, I wish BMW still had a V8 diesel like Audi and Mercedes do (though for how long, I don't know). A V8 diesel performance model would be awesome.

Well, then it seems the BMW Performance models will perhaps perform better than the competition.

M3 = M suspension, M engine, M styling & body parts
So what does the M Performance line get? Even more tweaked suspension and engine? Or the same tweaks as the is line, but with M styling?

I would guess that once the E92 goes away and the 335is is discontinued, BMW will create a F32 M440i (or something similar) to replace it.
