Recently, the F25 has been offered with an optional M-sport package, which offers the same features as the Sports Activity Package but with BMW M signatures, such as the steering wheel emblem and the anthracite black interior headliner as well as an M styled body kit with painted bumpers.

in its second generation was shown in the 5th season opener of Ultimate Factories
