I have bought the non M sport version 28i. i have 17" alloys which will get changed. What other goodies am I missing out on (2012)?
Is the body kit different? I notice some slight differences on rear bumper perhaps front too?
 
Rear and front bumper different
wheels M sport on 19" (some)
Seats (sports not comfort)
Suspension
Steering wheel (thicker)

Off the top of the head that's what I can think of at the mo.
 
Hmmm not too big a difference if I put some decent 19" alloys on mine then. Suspension being firmer could be a bad think on UK roads.
 
Bumpers and wheels make the best visual difference...

Suspension is lower too which makes the larger wheels fit better in the arches
 
You can pick up the m sport bumpers on eBay relatively cheap if you look for one that needs the odd scratch or dent repairing.

As for suspension, you could look for some springs or go for coilovers. I'm actually thinking of getting a set for my s23 m sport.
 
Personally, I would go with a good branded name if you are not doing OE wheels, so for me it would be the BBS as I have no experience of the others and have seen horror stories with cheap copies from the land of Ying Yong !! although they may be twice the price, apart from rubber they are the only things between you & the road! :-)
 
It cost me a few hundred quid for the pleasure( lost deposit). I will pick up a 2013 ,1 owner, service till 2018, 16000 miles. Can't wait to pick it up.
 
Minor detail, Msport models have a dark grey/black interior roof colour instead of a light colour.

Anyway, enjoy the car. I've had both non-Msport and Msport, the latter is the way to go in my opinion. Feels more like a sports car!
