Here's the tip of the iceberg for the M50i compared to the 50i:
-523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, increases of 67 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque over the 50i
-engine block made of an aluminum alloy, a viscous damper on the crankshaft, stronger pistons and piston rings, and an iron coating on the cylinder walls
-tweaked eight-speed automatic with launch-control
-M tuned suspension
-adaptive dampers
-M Sport exhaust system
-bigger M Sport brakes
-And more features were included as standard on the M50i vs the 50i

Search the forum and the web and see what people's impressions were driving the 2 different models.
Appreciate the detailed response. Can you comment if the tuned transmission, dampers, and m sport exhaust are also the same if the 2019 has m sport package?
