Ah, that is unfortunate overlap in slang, then.

BMW has very precise terms for their flavors of M, it's all marketing speak, but if I recall it's:

"M" (just "M" or "motorsport") is the top tier; cosmetics (badging, trim), track tuned engine, suspension, the works. ex: the M2.

"M Performance" is cosmetics plus sometimes a tuned engine, but not a M engine ("S" model), nor stuff like full slip e-diff. ex: the M240i.

"M Sport" is just cosmetics, no performance upgrades. Aka, a 2 Series with M trim package.

That's how I think it works. There's an image floating around the forum that describes it in more detail.
