what is Msport

[safuanorsham]

what is technical difference between Msport and non M? except from its interior and exterior.

 

[astroboy]

same engine, apart from interior and exterior, its the handling department, firmer anti roll bar and suspension. Less comfy for some..

 

[kayzhen911]

and.....
all the accessories thrown in.
1. M seats
2. M steering
3. rims
4. bumpers

 

[jarance]

M-sport for E46 have the following.

1. Xenon Light.

2. Rain Sensor.

3. Auto Dimmer for rear view mirror.

4. Auto Light control and auto levelling.

5. Mutifunction Steering wheel.

6. M-sport door trim - Front and rear.

7. Upgrade rim.

8. External Blacken trim

9. Carbon Fiber panel trim

10. M-sport spring and Absorber (For handling)

11. M-Sport Body Kit.

12. Semi bucket seat.


Of course, some of the lifestyle have the above spec as well.

lol! kayzhen911 and jarance has just completed your "interior" and "exterior" list which I assume u already know.. :3:

Marlboro included.. :4:

 

[safuanorsham]

my msport doesnt have:
rain sensor
xenon light
auto dimmed rearview mirror
multifunction steering (but still 3 spoke type design)
my rims only 17' and looks like buah belimbing.

so,technical wise the difference only on suspension and and ARB la?
suspension means different spring rite? how about shock absorber?
the difference

In addition to everything listed before:

- M-Sport control arms (It's labelled as ///M on the control arms)

- Possibly exhaust too is different tho i need to confirm by comparing with a non-msport owner

 

[astroboy]

.. so,technical wise the difference only on suspension and and ARB la?
suspension means different spring rite? how about shock absorber?
the difference

The absorber damping rate is higher, the spring harder and shorter, overall drop in vehicle height, no more than 15mm.

control arm? how to check? can be seen during jack up car?
i think exhaust is the same,because the sound note almost the same.

 

[safuanorsham]

astroboy: so when we want to change absorber,have to find oem msport absorber? hopefully not much expensive than the standard one. i like my current stock msport setting.. not too hard and not soft of course.

gerald: OMG,mine dun have this..

 

[e46_UDM]

my msport doesnt have:
rain sensor

multifunction steering (but still 3 spoke type design)
my rims only 17' and looks like buah belimbing.

Bro, mine MSport same as yours I think...
NO Xenon Light as the pix posted (only two HID ring)
NO Rain Sensor
NO Auto Dimmer for rear view mirror
NO Auto light control
Got 3 spoke multifunction streeing (but not the ///M type)
NO ///M door trim (just normal black trim)
NO CF Panel trim (but with wood trim)
Rims only 17' and looks like buah belimbing (5 spoke i.e. like the one on the wira hatchback)

Is it because mine is manufactured in 2003 and CBU from UK by NAZA? looks like a stripped down version of MSport to me... now I'm depressed :29::46::12::33::102:

 

[haywire]

Bro i believe some of the stuff above is not M-Sport stuff but rather items in the Options List.
