M vs M Competition cosmetic/trim differences

Other than the trim around the grill I can't see much of a difference.
What am I missing?

A ton in my opinion:

https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1657119

Some differences that come to mind:
From 600 to 617 BHP
Full leather interior
Standard Competition 21/22" wheels or no-cost 21/22" wheels
Slightly lower & stiffer springs (>1" drop)
(Allegedly) Sportier engine mounts and bushings
Black side fender trim, exhaust tips & front/rear badges
(Allegedly) Sportier steering
Sportier Competition exhaust

Sorry, yes . To be fair, the differences are subtle IMO, based on this pic of a non-M G05 X5. However it looks to have some padding on the side the center console...

I thought that might be it, but wasn't sure haha should have checked the configurator haha I guess the regular X5M doesn't have it. It is pretty darn subtle!

The X5M and the X5M with the competition pkg use the same springs, so ride height is the same.
