highline 23i

Was there a change in 2011 with the E89 ? Seen a few 23i 's advertised as just Sdrive and others described as Highline - what's the difference ?

High line was just a plusher trim/paint level didn’t last very long.

SDrive is the name for none MSport versions.

Hi, I think the highline editions didn’t have the M sport bumpers, the M sport cars are still called sdrive as that just signifies 2 wheel drive

SDrive just means its rear wheel drive So all Zeds are SDrive

How can you tell the difference between the MSports and standard z4 e89 for say year 2012 ?
Is it the following?
Wheel size, brake size, the dashboard has more of a 'line' design on the silver piece, steering wheel has M logo, manual gear stick has M logo, car sits lower?

The most obvious difference has to be the M sport bumpers, dashboards are the same as far as i know? :?
