I been looking around since new to the M and need a hub as I speak and I see BASE model and "X" model but never really see "S" model
I know mine is rwd and just seen the m37 comes awd which is badass and im assuming that's the "x" model?

but when I need parts like a hub or similar stuff do I just choose "base" model since it comes out as RWD or what do I look for if not?
thanks

S is mostly cosmetic stuff other than the BBK and 4WAS...hence why you're probably not seeing a difference between Base RWD and S RWD.

seats are different between S and base. the rear diff is also a LSD on the S vs open on the base.

Using Brake Motive rotors from ebay on my 2011 m56s. i also had these on my old Fx35 back in the day. great setup, slotted and crossdrilled also zinc coated so they dont rust. great deal as well...

I have a 13 xS, I thought that it was not equipped with the 4 wheel steering.

I also thought that the S had a stiffer suspension than an base or x.

For brake pads and rotors go on eBay. A lot of options.

If you have an S you have to really pay attention. It's easy to make a mistake.
