I purchased a non M-sport wagon and test drove an M-sport version beforehand. The seats and steering wheel are fantastic and there is no denying the exterior bumper aesthetics are improved.
I have other dedicated sports cars in my garage and I found the wagon sport suspension to be overly stiff for the purpose I use it for - run flats or not. So I found a choice non-M stick shift example and saved a chunk of money. I will certainly upgrade to Bilstein struts when the OEM suspension is tired out. The wagon gets driven in the worst weather, to home depot and is the baby hauler. I enjoy every minute of it.
