M3 designation

[Pisgah Heaven]

I have a 2003 330Ci that has MIII on the steering wheel and gear shift knob.  Does this designate it as part of the M class?  Does it differentiate it from a "typical" 330i?  If so, what are the main differences between my model and a "typical"  330i?  Thanks

Unfortunately, NO it means most probably someone has stuck some M badges on or changed the steering wheel and gear knob

You can check if your car was ordered with any M accessories which were normally spoilers and wheels at that time by using a BMW Vin Decoder site and looking at the Build sheet.
