On a 120D M Sport. Whichever it is, it's subtle and I like it.

Unrelated but sort of. So what's the difference between getting a 3 series with the M package or an M3? Is it a diluted version of the m3 but as options instead?

It's a common mod for BMW drivers I've seen stuff about it before, so I doubt it's stock. Nice touch though.

Yes. Msport option is body kit, brakes, wheels, suspension, and interior bits. You could get an Msport 4cyl if you wanted. These parts are an improvement but not quite as good as the full M.

It's more an appearance kit than anything I think.

This is why bmw confuses me. And I see the 1 series is gone, is it now called the 2? But no m2 rather a 2xx msport is available.

The photo perhaps doesn't show it well, but the colours were spot on

The black kidney grilles were probably stock, but the lines were probably owner done.

BMW's M Division tend to wait a little while before releasing the proper M# when a new model comes out. The M2 may be along shortly. The idea is; M# is the motorsport version, the best BMW think their car can be within a price bracket. The ### M Sport just makes the car either look better (debatable sometimes) and occasionally has suspension and other minor mechanical upgrades. The engine is just whatever you decide to buy. You can get almost any model in an M Sport version.

They've done it well then. Really clean lines!

The M sport packages get you some of the actual M car's parts, but never all of them. Actual Mx cars are the real deal, and are relatively pure racing-capable cars. BMW builds them in order to sell M packages and lesser models.
BMW doesn't build an M car first, then water it down. They build a 3 series, for example. Then after some time their M division takes the entire car apart and improves every single little thing they feel needs improvement, and give their wishlist to BMW, who approves most of what they want.
As for your other question, the 1-series is now dead in the US. The 2 series is bigger but is a successor. BMW went through a huge nomenclature changeup recently and added some new series. The 2 looks like the old 1 though, except better.
Also GENGAR GENGAR!

It's an inexpensive aftermarket product.

There's still a 1 series, it's just that the two door is called a 2 series now.

Much nicer than sticking M badges all over the place though :)

Yeah, I like it. I wouldn't put it on my 135, even though it has a sports package, but honestly the front looks better with it. To be fair, I think the 1 has a "polarizing" (ugly) face anyway, so it isn't hard to improve the front, hahaha.

Clever subtlety.
